Manitoba Wildfire Map
Manitoba's wildfire conditions can change quickly across the province's northern forests and remote communities. FireRadar presents the latest available official FireView incidents alongside optional national and satellite layers.

What FireRadar has observed in Manitoba
These are derived FireRadar archive statistics for direct-official Manitoba incident observations only. The coverage window is shown explicitly because the FireRadar archive is not a complete 2026 wildfire-season record.
Migration baseline fires can count toward the unique-fire archive universe but are never relabelled as first observed by FireRadar. Reported-size changes reflect source-reported incident values and are not cumulative area burned or a FireRadar fire-growth estimate.

Regional pages bridge the province-wide view and individual community maps with curated geographic extents, current official incidents, smoke and AQHI context, and links into local pages.
Data trust & freshness
- Source last updated
- FireRadar retrieved
- Page generated
These timestamps are intentionally separate: the responsible agency owns the source update, FireRadar records when it retrieved the data, and page generation does not replace either timestamp.
Manitoba source methodology
Manitoba FireView records are used as the direct official incident source where the feed supplies a stable incident identity and current status.
Status terminology
FireRadar preserves raw source meaning and normalizes display labels only where a documented source mapping exists.
Coverage limitations
Remote incidents and source updates can be delayed. FireRadar does not convert a failed source request into a zero-fire result.

Manitoba wildfire FAQ
How many active wildfires are in Manitoba?
FireRadar currently counts 4 active direct-official records for Manitoba. The number can differ from other maps because datasets use different update times and inclusion rules.
Why can FireRadar and the official Manitoba map show different totals?
Source publication timing, status interpretation, duplicate handling, retained out-fire windows, and national fallback records can differ. FireRadar links back to the owning authority so users can verify the current official record.
Does a FireRadar marker show the exact edge of a Manitoba wildfire?
Not necessarily. A marker may be a source-provided incident point or a matched reference location. Use an official perimeter when one is available and follow emergency authorities for decisions.
What this map shows
- Active official fires: direct Manitoba incident records where the source supplies them.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: direct official records updated within FireRadar’s 48-hour recent-out window.
- Reported hectares: summed only for active official records that contain a usable fire size.
- Satellite hotspots: optional NASA FIRMS thermal detections, kept separate from official incidents.
Official source coverage
Integration coverage is separate from current source health. The live source summary above shows whether the direct feed is current, delayed, or unavailable right now.
Official incident markers and out records are derived from Manitoba FireView where supplied. Follow Manitoba and local authorities for emergency decisions.
Visit Manitoba Wildfire Service / FireView →How to use the Manitoba wildfire map
Start with direct official active-fire markers. Select a marker to inspect its status, reported size, source dates, and cause when those fields are available.
Enable recent out fires, satellite hotspots, or the CWFIS national view separately. These layers have different meanings and should not be added together as one incident total.
Search a community or address to open a nearby-activity preview with approximate straight-line distances to official fires and satellite detections.
Important safety note
FireRadar is an informational map, not an emergency notification or evacuation service. Data can be delayed, incomplete, or revised by the source. Follow Manitoba Wildfire Service / FireView, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
