Data and methodology references
What FireRadar counts
Province and territory totals use official incident records where a source is available. Active fires and recent out or extinguished records are kept separate, and hectares are added only when an active official record reports a usable size. Regional totals use defined FireRadar boundaries and should not be added together where regions overlap.
What FireRadar does not claim
FireRadar is not an emergency authority, evacuation service, fire-spread prediction system, air-quality monitoring network, or guarantee of local safety. Always follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, health, environment, and emergency authorities.
