2023 Newfoundland and Labrador Wildfire History
Newfoundland and Labrador ended the 2023 forest-fire season with 101 recorded fires burning 21,883 hectares. The Province reported that 99 per cent of the area burned was in remote parts of Labrador and that the season ended without significant incidents, injuries, or property damage. FireRadar presents those final provincial figures as historical reporting rather than recreating them from current records.

What stands out about 2023
The vast majority of 2023 burned area occurred in remote Labrador rather than on the Island of Newfoundland.
The Province characterized the season as ending with no significant incidents, injuries, or property damage.
Newfoundland and Labrador also deployed firefighters, incident-management personnel, equipment and water bombers to assist other Canadian jurisdictions during the severe national season.
