Côte-Nord wildfire map & smoke conditions
View official wildfire activity and smoke across Quebec's Côte-Nord, connecting north-shore communities, remote interior forest, resource corridors, and long-distance travel routes.
Use the regional view to understand official incident geography across multiple communities, then compare forecast smoke and measured AQHI before drawing conclusions about local air quality.

Regional membership is based on FireRadar's curated geographic extent and source-provided incident point locations. It is not an emergency boundary, predicted spread area, or municipal jurisdiction.

The dashed outline is FireRadar's curated regional counting extent. Incident points, smoke forecasts, and AQHI observations are separate datasets and should not be interpreted as evacuation boundaries or fire-spread predictions. FireRadar regional extents may overlap near transition areas. Regional totals are useful local summaries and must not be added together to produce a province total.

Stations can be far from rural or remote parts of a region. The nearest observation may not represent conditions everywhere inside the regional boundary.

Wildfire context across Côte-Nord
Côte-Nord spans a very large forested and coastal area with hydroelectric and resource infrastructure, Indigenous communities, remote roads, aviation links, and communities separated by long distances. Wildfire impacts and smoke can be highly regional, so a dedicated map provides more useful context than treating the entire province as one local geography.

What changed around Côte-Nord
Matched regional examples from FireRadar's completed 2026-08-12 → 2026-08-13 direct-official comparison. The retained incident-detail list is intentionally bounded, so absence here is not presented as proof that nothing changed in the region.
No regional incident from the bounded daily detail list matched a current source-provided point inside this extent. Use the province comparison for the complete jurisdiction-level counts.
Forecast layer
Côte-Nord smoke forecast
Use FireRadar's ECCC FireWork smoke forecast to see modelled smoke movement across and beyond Côte-Nord. Forecast smoke is not proof that a nearby wildfire is the source of local smoke.
Measured conditions
Air quality and AQHI
AQHI and observed PM2.5 provide measured air-quality context and remain distinct from FireWork forecast smoke. Station coverage varies across a region, especially in rural and remote areas.

Official source and emergency information
Official incident information comes from SOPFEU. FireRadar normalizes public status and cause labels for display while preserving unavailable fields as unavailable.
FireRadar does not issue evacuation orders, emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
