Fire-weather and air-quality figures are modelled at province level (Northwest Territories) — not per division. British Columbia alone is larger than France, so treat those two as a regional signal. Fire counts and areas below are per division, from official records.

Division boundaries from Statistics Canada (2021 census divisions); a fire is placed in a division by its coordinates, since CWFIS reports only the province. Fire-weather risk is our own estimate (Canadian FWI on Open-Meteo forecasts), not an official warning — for those see your provincial wildfire agency. In an emergency call 911.
