Incident records from the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS). 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.
