Wildfire context for Algoma District
Algoma District includes extensive mixed and boreal forest, Lake Superior shoreline, First Nations, mining and forestry activity, wilderness recreation, rail infrastructure, and long Highway 17 and 129 connections.

Smoke forecast, air quality and fire weather
Smoke forecasts, measured AQHI and Fire Danger ratings describe different conditions. FireRadar shows each separately so one is not mistaken for another.
Official wildfire source for Ontario
Official active and new fire markers come from Ontario AFFES/LIO data. Marker data is informational and may not represent an exact perimeter.
Emergency, closure, and travel information
FireRadar is an informational wildfire map. It does not issue evacuation instructions, park closures, road closures, travel advisories, fire bans, campground or trail status, or fire-spread predictions. Follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, parks, transportation, and emergency authorities for operational decisions.
