Distances are calculated from the centre of the selected location to the point supplied for each record. 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 evacuation orders, emergency alerts, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
