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.

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.

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 uses consistent display labels for public status and cause terms while leaving missing fields 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.
