How FireRadar history is organized
FireRadar has recorded its own daily observations since 2026. Older records provided by wildfire agencies are labelled separately, so it is clear which events FireRadar observed and which come from historical source data.
View current fire activity, official perimeters, source-reported causes, downloads, daily changes and province or territory summaries.
FireRadar has recorded daily observations since 2026. Coverage dates are shown so a partial record is not mistaken for a complete season.
Historical records from wildfire agencies are labelled separately from observations made by FireRadar.
Reported incident size is not the same as cumulative area burned, and missing historical coverage is never treated as zero activity.
