Alberta Wildfire Map
Alberta wildfire activity can range from the foothills and boreal forest to remote northern areas. FireRadar combines the latest available official incident markers with optional satellite thermal detections for province-wide context.
Current Alberta wildfire snapshot
What this map shows
- Active official fires: direct Alberta incident records where the source supplies them.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: records retained within FireRadar's current out-fire display window.
- Reported hectares: summed only for active official records that contain a usable fire size.
- Satellite hotspots: optional NASA FIRMS thermal detections, kept separate from official incidents.
Official source coverage
Official incident status comes from Alberta Wildfire. FireRadar excludes records that do not meet the direct-feed active-status rules used by the public map.

Start with direct official active-fire markers. Select a marker to inspect its status, reported size, source dates, and cause when those fields are available.
Enable recent out fires, satellite hotspots, or the CWFIS national view separately. These layers have different meanings and should not be added together as one incident total.
Search a community or address to open a nearby-activity preview with approximate straight-line distances to official fires and satellite detections.
Important safety note
FireRadar is an informational map, not an emergency notification or evacuation service. Data can be delayed, incomplete, or revised by the source. Follow Alberta Wildfire, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
