What FireRadar has observed in Alberta
These FireRadar archive statistics use only official Alberta incident observations. The coverage dates are shown because the archive is not a complete record of the 2026 wildfire season.
Some older records were imported when this history began. They are included in the total number of fires but are not presented as newly recorded by FireRadar. Size changes reflect values reported by the source; they do not represent cumulative area burned or a FireRadar estimate of growth.

View update history →Alberta source methodology
FireRadar counts only Alberta records that satisfy the direct-feed active-status rules used by the public map and does not add CWFIS records to Alberta official totals.
Status terminology
FireRadar keeps the original meaning of the source and uses a standard display label only when a documented mapping exists.
Coverage limitations
Alberta wildfire status, emergency information, fire bans, and municipal notices can update on different schedules.

Alberta wildfire FAQ
How many active wildfires are in Alberta?
FireRadar currently lists 2 active official wildfire records for Alberta. The number can differ from other maps because datasets use different update times and inclusion rules.
Why can FireRadar and the official Alberta map show different totals?
Source publication times, status terms, duplicate handling, recent-out windows and the use of CWFIS national records can differ. FireRadar links to the responsible authority so users can verify the current official record.
Does a FireRadar marker show the exact edge of a Alberta wildfire?
Not necessarily. A marker may be a source-provided incident point or a matched reference location. Use an official perimeter when one is available and follow emergency authorities for decisions.
