Canada wildfire statistics
A stable reference for the latest defensible national wildfire counts FireRadar can derive from connected direct provincial and territorial incident feeds. National CWFIS context and satellite hotspots are kept outside these official incident totals.
Current national wildfire statistics
537 active records currently have a usable reported size.
THU036
Source-labelled active-fire status
Canadian agencies do not all publish identical control-status vocabularies. These counts normalize only clear source labels; FireRadar does not guess a control state when the feed does not provide one.
382 of 537 active incident records match these three common status categories. Remaining records retain their source wording rather than being forced into a category.
