Current regional smoke forecast context

Open province smoke forecast →View official wildfire activity and smoke across Northern Manitoba, connecting Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas, Lynn Lake, northern highways, and remote communities.
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 →Northern Manitoba contains vast boreal forest, lakes, mining and resource areas, First Nations and northern communities, aviation-dependent locations, and long road corridors. Wildfires can affect transportation, community services, resource operations, remote access, and smoke across broad areas, making a regional view more useful than a single-city perspective.
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.
Use FireRadar's ECCC FireWork smoke forecast to see modelled smoke movement across and beyond Northern Manitoba. 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.

FireRadar does not issue evacuation orders, emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
