Fort McMurray Air Quality Map
Check current AQHI observations around Fort McMurray while keeping observed air quality distinct from modelled wildfire smoke.
How to read AQHI around Fort McMurray
Local air quality can reflect wildfire smoke, oil-sands and other industrial emissions, transportation, and weather. AQHI is the observed health-risk index available at participating reporting locations; a station value is not a parcel-level measurement and does not identify the source of pollution by itself.
Observation, not a city-wide constant
AQHI values come from participating reporting locations and communicate combined health risk from multiple air pollutants. The nearest observation may not match every neighbourhood around Fort McMurray, and a missing marker is not evidence of clean air. Wildfire smoke is one possible contributor rather than the definition of AQHI.
A focused starting view, not a clipped dataset
This page starts the national FireRadar layer around Fort McMurray. The underlying AQHI station layer is not clipped to municipal boundaries, so nearby conditions remain visible as you pan or zoom. FireRadar does not infer a uniform value inside a city boundary.
Health and safety limitation
FireRadar is an informational environmental map. Follow Environment and Climate Change Canada, provincial health agencies, local public-health guidance, and emergency authorities for health or safety decisions. This page does not diagnose exposure, determine whether outdoor activity is safe, or predict individual health effects.
