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.
Regional context
Wildfire context across Far North Ontario
Far North Ontario covers an immense boreal and wetland landscape with many Indigenous communities, fly-in settlements, seasonal roads, mining and exploration activity, waterways, and very limited permanent highway access. Wildfires can affect aviation, community supply routes, traditional land use, emergency logistics, remote work sites, and smoke over hundreds of kilometres, making broad regional context especially important.

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.
