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 Jamésie
Jamésie spans enormous areas of boreal forest, wetlands, reservoirs, Indigenous territories, hydroelectric infrastructure, mining and forestry activity, and some of Canada's longest remote roads. Wildfires can affect energy operations, work camps, road access, aviation, community supply chains, traditional land use, and smoke across distances that make local-only pages insufficient.
