Montreal Wildfire Smoke Map
Follow modelled wildfire smoke around Montreal and southern Quebec with FireRadar's hourly FireWork forecast.
How to read smoke around Montreal
Montreal can receive smoke from Quebec's northern and central forests, Ontario, western Canada, or the United States. The St. Lawrence Valley can influence wind and pollutant transport, while urban conditions can differ from the regional forecast. The FireWork map is forecast guidance and should be compared with observed AQHI and local health advisories.
Forecast, not a measurement
FireWork estimates near-surface PM2.5 attributable to wildfire smoke. It can differ from actual conditions around Montreal because emissions, wind, terrain, mixing, precipitation, and model timing change. Use current AQHI observations and local health advisories when conditions matter to health.
A focused starting view, not a clipped dataset
This page starts the national FireRadar layer around Montreal. The underlying FireWork smoke field 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.
