Wildfire context around St. John's

St. John's is Newfoundland and Labrador's largest population centre and a major destination for residents seeking province-wide wildfire and smoke context. Although the Avalon Peninsula is less exposed to large boreal fires than western Newfoundland and Labrador, transported smoke and incidents elsewhere in the province can still affect travel and outdoor conditions.

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.
