How to use this page

Research Manitoba in 2000

This page uses Manitoba's own long-running historical wildfire table rather than reconstructing the season from FireRadar observations or present-day incident feeds.

Human-caused fires account for 21,012 hectares in the source table; lightning-caused fires account for 89,912 hectares. Cause counts and burned-area shares describe the Province's historical annual reporting categories, not ignition probability today.

Historical fire counts and area burned answer different questions. A year with fewer fires can still have substantial burned area when one or more large incidents dominate the season.

Incident geography

Natural Resources Canada — Canadian National Fire Database

Agency-provided historical wildfire locations and mapped fire perimeters. Point and polygon coverage differ, so a missing perimeter is not treated as a missing historical fire.
