Choose one alert threshold. A Free My FireRadar account includes three basic email Alerts. FireRadar Plus includes up to 10 enhanced Alerts, multiple compatible conditions and eligible SMS delivery.
This uses ECCC FireWork forecast guidance, not a live neighbourhood measurement.
Forecast smoke alerts indicate modelled wildfire-smoke PM2.5 crossing the selected threshold. They are informational and do not replace official health or emergency guidance.
Newfoundland and Labrador smoke forecast
The map uses the same FireWork forecast product as FireRadar's national smoke page. This province route adds a Newfoundland and Labrador-focused starting view and regional interpretation without clipping the underlying smoke field at the boundary.

How smoke can behave across Newfoundland and Labrador
Labrador and the island of Newfoundland can experience very different smoke patterns. Labrador can be affected by local and Quebec wildfire activity, while the island may receive transported smoke across the Gulf or Atlantic under the right wind pattern. The province-wide view is intentionally broad so those separate transport paths remain visible.
Forecast field versus local observations
Air-quality observations are point measurements and coverage is not uniform across Labrador and the island. Remote communities can be far from a reporting location. Compare model guidance with the nearest available observation, visibility, local advisories and official health information.

Start with the province view
The map opens centred on Newfoundland and Labrador at a zoom chosen to show most or all of the jurisdiction without clipping the smoke layer.
Play or step through time
Use the smoke timeline to move through hourly forecast frames and watch how the model expects the smoke field to change.
Compare, then verify
Pan beyond the boundary to follow transported smoke, then compare the forecast with nearby observations, local advisories and official health information.
Smoke data and methodology
Every provincial and territorial smoke page uses Environment and Climate Change Canada's FireWork forecast. The forecast covers Canada rather than stopping at provincial boundaries, and FireRadar does not attribute a modelled plume to a specific wildfire without source support.
Forecast limitations
FireWork is model output and can differ from actual local smoke because emissions, weather, terrain, and timing change. FireRadar is informational and does not replace AQHI, local monitoring, health advice, smoke advisories, or emergency authorities.
