Current regional smoke forecast context
Loading the current smoke forecast issuance…
Open province smoke forecast →Track official wildfires, smoke forecast, and air-quality conditions across Northeastern Ontario, including Timmins, Sudbury, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Wawa, and surrounding forest regions.
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.
Open province air-quality map →Northeastern Ontario spans large boreal and mixed-forest areas, mining and forestry communities, lake country, remote roads, and major Highway 11 and 17 corridors. Wildfire and smoke impacts can cross very large distances, so the regional view provides a useful bridge between Ontario-wide activity and individual community maps while preserving direct official incident identities and source timing.
Matched regional examples from FireRadar's completed 2026-08-09 → 2026-08-10 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.
Use FireRadar's ECCC FireWork smoke forecast to see modelled smoke movement across and beyond Northeastern Ontario. Forecast smoke is not proof that a nearby wildfire is the source of local smoke.
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.
Ontario air quality map →Official active and new fire markers come from Ontario AFFES/LIO data. Marker data is informational and may not represent an exact perimeter.
FireRadar does not issue evacuation orders, emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
