Quebec Wildfire Map
Quebec's wildfire territory extends across vast forested and remote regions. FireRadar provides an English-language, province-specific view of the latest available SOPFEU incident data without changing the source meaning.

What FireRadar has observed in Quebec
These are derived FireRadar archive statistics for direct-official Quebec incident observations only. The coverage window is shown explicitly because the FireRadar archive is not a complete 2026 wildfire-season record.
Migration baseline fires can count toward the unique-fire archive universe but are never relabelled as first observed by FireRadar. Reported-size changes reflect source-reported incident values and are not cumulative area burned or a FireRadar fire-growth estimate.

Regional pages bridge the province-wide view and individual community maps with curated geographic extents, current official incidents, smoke and AQHI context, and links into local pages.
Data trust & freshness
- Source last updated
- FireRadar retrieved
- Page generated
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.
Quebec source methodology
SOPFEU public incident information is displayed with readable English labels while preserving the source meaning and unavailable values.
Status terminology
FireRadar preserves raw source meaning and normalizes display labels only where a documented source mapping exists.
Coverage limitations
French source terminology, public incident scope, and update timing can differ from national products. FireRadar does not treat national records as SOPFEU totals.

Quebec wildfire FAQ
How many active wildfires are in Quebec?
FireRadar currently counts 13 active direct-official records for Quebec. The number can differ from other maps because datasets use different update times and inclusion rules.
Why can FireRadar and the official Quebec 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 Quebec 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
- Active official fires: direct Quebec incident records where the source supplies them.
- Recent out or extinguished fires: direct official records updated within FireRadar’s 48-hour recent-out 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
Integration coverage is separate from current source health. The live source summary above shows whether the direct feed is current, delayed, or unavailable right now.
Official incident information comes from SOPFEU. FireRadar normalizes public status and cause labels for display while preserving unavailable fields as unavailable.
Visit SOPFEU →How to use the Quebec wildfire map
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 SOPFEU, local emergency services, and official evacuation instructions for decisions affecting life or property.
