How to read nearby results

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 official emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
