Nova Scotia Wildfire Map
Nova Scotia wildfire incidents can develop close to populated and wooded areas. This page provides a clean province-wide map view while keeping official records separate from satellite thermal detections.
Current Nova Scotia wildfire snapshot
What this map shows
- Active official fires: direct Nova Scotia incident records where the source supplies them.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: records retained within FireRadar's current out-fire display 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
Official location records come from Nova Scotia public wildfire data. Satellite hotspots remain a separate optional layer and are not confirmed incidents.

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 Nova Scotia wildfire services, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
