2024 Quebec Wildfire History

SOPFEU fought 352 forest fires that burned 13,884 hectares in Quebec's Intensive Protection Zone in 2024. North of the 51st parallel, SOPFEU recorded 166 fires and 177,306 hectares burned. FireRadar keeps those two protection contexts separate instead of adding unlike operational categories without explanation.

What stands out about 2024

Northern-zone area burned remained much larger than intensive-zone area burned.

FireRadar preserves the zone labels rather than presenting one unexplained Quebec total.

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.
