Ontario Wildfire Map
Ontario covers an enormous area, and most wildfire activity occurs well north of the province's largest population centres. This page makes the official active-fire markers easier to scan while retaining source and freshness context.
Current Ontario wildfire snapshot
What this map shows
- Active official fires: direct Ontario 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 active and new fire markers come from Ontario AFFES/LIO data. Marker data is informational and may not represent an exact perimeter.

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 Ontario Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
