Canadian wildfire maps by province, region and data layer
Start with FireRadar's Canada-wide Wildfires experience, move into province or curated regional pages, open a focused hotspot, smoke, air-quality, or recent-out view, then use the explanatory guides to understand how each dataset should be interpreted.
National wildfire tools
Active Wildfires in Canada Today
Current direct-official counts, province totals, reported active hectares, newly reported fires, and largest reported fires.
Wildfires Near Me
Search a Canadian place or use browser location to calculate nearby official fires and satellite hotspots.
Focused national wildfire data layers
FireRadar Wildfires is the canonical incident experience. These focused pages isolate Wildfires or one supporting dataset so its meaning, interpretation, and limitations are easy to understand.
Wildfires
View FireRadar's canonical Canada-wide wildfire layer, prioritizing direct provincial and territorial incident feeds and explicitly labelling validated national continuity when it is needed.
Satellite hotspots
View NASA FIRMS VIIRS satellite thermal hotspots across Canada on FireRadar, isolated from the Wildfires and recent-out incident layers.
Recent out and extinguished fires
View recent Canadian wildfire records marked out, extinguished, inactive, declared out, or being patrolled, with the active Wildfires and satellite layers turned off.
Wildfire smoke forecast
View Canada's official FireWork wildfire smoke forecast with hourly, ground-level PM2.5 model guidance from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
AQHI observations
View current Air Quality Health Index observations from Environment and Climate Change Canada stations across Canada, isolated from wildfire incidents and the smoke forecast.
Province and territory wildfire maps
Each jurisdiction page combines a focused map with server-rendered source methodology, current data context, local links, coverage limitations, and related national guides.

Regional wildfire maps
Curated regional pages use explicit FireRadar counting polygons, current direct-official incident summaries, smoke/AQHI context, and connected community maps. They are deliberately selected rather than generated for every geographic label.
Wildfire data and interpretation guides
These pages answer distinct informational questions about update timing, data sources, and the difference between confirmed wildfire incidents and satellite detections.
How often wildfire data updates
Understand source update timing, FireRadar ingestion, freshness labels, and why update times differ.
Official wildfires vs satellite hotspots
Compare confirmed incident records with satellite thermal detections and avoid double-counting.
How FireRadar gets wildfire data
Review direct official feeds, CWFIS, NASA FIRMS, ECCC FireWork, and source-specific limitations.
How FireRadar works
See how FireRadar separates datasets, validates updates, and preserves the last complete valid state.

Wildfire, smoke, preparedness and recovery guides
Browse practical Canadian guides covering AQHI, wildfire smoke, emergency readiness, preparedness, history, careers, recovery, and community support.
What does the AQHI mean?
Understand Canada's 1 to 10+ Air Quality Health Index scale and how wildfire smoke can affect health risk.
When should you wear an N95 for wildfire smoke?
Learn when a well-fitting N95 or equivalent respirator may reduce exposure to fine smoke particles and what it cannot filter.
Keep wildfire smoke out of your home
Practical steps for reducing smoke infiltration and improving indoor air during wildfire-smoke events.
After the Fire recovery guides
Start with safe return, insurance basics, cleanup, mental-health support, rebuilding, and verified ways to help affected communities.
Community wildfire maps
FireRadar currently indexes 224 deliberately selected community pages. We favour wildfire and smoke relevance, real local utility, regional importance, and monitoring value rather than generating a page for every municipality.
Data and methodology references
What FireRadar counts
Province totals use direct official incident records where a feed is available. Active fires and recent out or extinguished records are kept separate, and hectares are summed only when an active official record reports a usable size. Regional totals use explicit FireRadar counting polygons and are not additive where curated regions overlap near transition areas.
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.
This directory is meant to make FireRadar's maps, regions, data layers, and methodology easy to navigate without presenting every link as a separate promotional card.
