Data trust & freshness
Responsible source: Alberta Wildfire

- Expected cadence
- Jurisdiction-specific; FireRadar applies the published source freshness policy
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. Local counts use the community centre and a 100 km radius; unavailable data never becomes zero.
These timestamps are intentionally separate: the responsible agency owns the source update, FireRadar records when it retrieved the data, and page generation does not replace either timestamp.

Wildfire context around Edmonton
Many wildfires shown near Edmonton may be outside the city or in distant forested areas. FireRadar provides geographic context, but it does not infer smoke impact, evacuation risk, or fire spread from distance alone.
How to read local distance results
Distances are calculated from the centre of the selected location to the point supplied for each record. The local activity list is limited to 100 km. A fire can be large, irregularly shaped, remote, or represented by a reference point rather than an exact perimeter.
Emergency information
FireRadar does not issue official emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
Nearby and regional community wildfire maps
FireRadar prioritizes communities in the same regional cluster, then the same province, followed by the nearest curated local pages.
