2021 Manitoba Wildfire History
Nationally, Natural Resources Canada's annual series reports 6,710 wildland fires and 4,078,894 ha burned in 2021. For Manitoba-specific figures, use the jurisdiction filters in the linked official datasets. The national totals shown here provide context for the year and should not be read as Manitoba's totals. The annual tables and mapped historical records also cover different details and should be read separately.

Research Manitoba in 2021
Manitoba's forest-fire record spans remote boreal communities, lakes, road corridors and aviation-dependent areas. Annual totals need to be read with jurisdiction and reporting scope visible.
The National Forestry Database tables can be filtered by jurisdiction, cause, month and fire size. Those source categories provide the most accurate way to review Manitoba's 2021 record.
CNFDB fire locations and mapped polygons have different completeness. FireRadar never infers a historical perimeter from a fire point or final reported area, and a missing polygon is not described as evidence that no fire occurred.

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.
