Wildfire context for Polar Bear Provincial Park
Polar Bear Provincial Park is an enormous roadless protected landscape of tundra, peatlands, wetlands, river systems, sparse boreal transition forest, wildlife habitat, and fly-in access along Hudson Bay. Fire behaviour differs from southern Ontario, but large northern incidents and smoke can still affect aviation, field work, traditional travel, and nearby remote communities.
Smoke forecast, air quality and fire weather
Smoke forecasts, measured AQHI and Fire Danger ratings describe different conditions. FireRadar shows each separately so one is not mistaken for another.
Official wildfire source for Ontario
Official active and new fire markers come from Ontario AFFES/LIO data. Marker data is informational and may not represent an exact perimeter.
Emergency, closure, and travel information
FireRadar is an informational wildfire map. It does not issue evacuation instructions, park closures, road closures, travel advisories, fire bans, campground or trail status, or fire-spread predictions. Follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, parks, transportation, and emergency authorities for operational decisions.
