Fire ban FAQ

How to use FireRadar restriction information

Does no matching FireRadar record mean there is no fire ban?

No. If FireRadar does not show a matching restriction, that is not permission to burn. Municipal, First Nations, federal, park and other land-manager rules may apply separately, and some source information may be unavailable.

Can I check fire restrictions for an address or postal code?

Yes. FireRadar can check a Canadian address, community or postal code against the supported official fire-restriction areas it has available.

Can FireRadar alert me when fire restrictions change?

At supported locations, a Free account can create a basic email Alert with one supported restriction condition, within its three-Alert allowance. FireRadar Plus adds enhanced conditions and eligible SMS. Alerts report source changes and never mean burning is permitted.

Are fire bans the same across Canada?

No. Authorities use different terms and scopes, including advisories, restrictions, prohibitions, bans and closures. FireRadar shows the source term and issuing authority rather than reducing every rule to ‘banned’ or ‘not banned.’

Is FireRadar the legal authority for fire restrictions?

No. FireRadar is an informational product. The issuing provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, federal, park or other responsible authority remains authoritative.
