2024 New Brunswick Wildfire History
The Government of New Brunswick's 2025 wildfire reporting provides a direct comparison with the completed 2024 season: 224 fires burned 186.5 hectares in 2024. The comparison is useful because it comes from the same provincial wildfire authority and is presented alongside the province's 10-year averages, while FireRadar avoids inventing additional annual detail that the source does not provide.

What stands out about 2024
The 2024 burned area was below the 10-year average cited by the Province in its 2025 comparison.
The official comparison keeps fire count and area burned as separate measures rather than implying that a larger number of incidents must mean a larger burned area.
This page does not backfill causes, evacuations or other impact metrics that are absent from the source used for the annual totals.

Review source material →What this page does not claim
This is not a reconstructed live map of every moment in 2024, not proof of a fire’s status on a particular day, and not a substitute for agency incident archives. FireRadar’s interactive retained-history product begins with its own observation window and remains clearly separate.
