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 Nunavut snapshot
FireRadar does not currently have a confirmed direct official Nunavut active-fire feed. Official totals remain unavailable rather than being shown as zero.

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.
Nunavut source methodology
FireRadar uses the best confirmed public source available and keeps direct official incidents, CWFIS records, and satellite hotspots as separate datasets.
Status terminology
FireRadar preserves raw source meaning and normalizes display labels only where a documented source mapping exists.
Coverage limitations
Direct incident coverage is not confirmed for this jurisdiction. National records and satellite detections are context, not a direct official incident total.

Nunavut wildfire FAQ
How many active wildfires are in Nunavut?
The current direct-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 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 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
- CWFIS national context: national active-fire records attributed to Nunavut, kept separate from direct official totals.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: unavailable without a confirmed direct jurisdiction feed.
- 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.

FireRadar opens the CWFIS national view for Nunavut because no direct incident feed is confirmed. 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 Government of Nunavut, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
