Wildfire context for Pukaskwa National Park
Pukaskwa protects a remote Lake Superior landscape of boreal forest, rugged shoreline, backcountry routes, campgrounds, and limited access points. Wildfire and smoke can affect hiking, paddling, camping, visibility, and regional travel while users may be far from larger 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.
