What this national season record shows
- • 2000 is part of Natural Resources Canada's continuous national annual fire-management series used here for consistent year-over-year historical context.
- • Annual fire count and annual area burned are different measures; a higher fire count does not automatically mean a larger burned area.
- • FireRadar's retained observation archive begins in 2026, so this page remains explicitly labelled as imported official historical reporting.
