Nunavut Wildfire Map
Nunavut does not currently publish a dependable, up-to-date territorial active-wildfire incident feed. This page therefore opens the separately labelled CWFIS national view and keeps satellite detections distinct from wildfire incidents.
Version françaiseCurrent official wildfires in Nunavut
Current active-fire information from Nunavut is not available in FireRadar. Totals remain unavailable rather than being shown as zero.

Nunavut source methodology
FireRadar uses the best confirmed public source available and keeps provincial and territorial official incidents, CWFIS records, and satellite hotspots as separate datasets.
Status terminology
FireRadar keeps the original meaning of the source and uses a standard display label only when a documented mapping exists.
Coverage limitations
Local incident coverage is not confirmed for this jurisdiction. National records and satellite detections are context, not a local official incident total.

Nunavut wildfire FAQ
How many active wildfires are in Nunavut?
The current official count is unavailable. FireRadar does not show a failed request as zero. The number can differ from other maps because datasets use different update times and inclusion rules.
Why can FireRadar and the official Nunavut map show different totals?
Source publication times, status terms, duplicate handling, recent-out windows and the use of CWFIS national records can differ. FireRadar links to the responsible authority so users can verify the current official record.
Does a FireRadar marker show the exact edge of a Nunavut 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
- Natural Resources Canada records: national records for Nunavut, kept separate from local wildfire-agency totals.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: not available without a current local source.
- Reported hectares: summed only for active CWFIS national records that contain a usable fire size.
- Satellite hotspots: optional NASA FIRMS thermal detections, kept separate from official incidents.
Official source coverage
CWFIS national records attributed to Nunavut are shown as context, not as a direct territorial incident total. Satellite detections remain a separate optional layer.
