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.

Nearby and regional community wildfire maps

FireRadar prioritizes communities in the same regional cluster, then the same province, followed by the nearest curated local pages.
