Active fires in Canada
Satellites detected 309 thermal hotspots in Canada in the last 48 h, grouped into 77 fire clusters. 1 cluster reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is remote British Columbia, 151 km N of Prince George with 15 detections and a peak of 88 MW, last seen Sun 7:32 am local time.
By region, British Columbia has 23 clusters (135 detections), Ontario has 24 clusters (109 detections), Alberta has 10 clusters (18 detections).
Fires are assigned to the country of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can appear under the neighbour.

Official information
CIFFC (ciffc.net) publishes the national wildfire situation; provinces and territories run their own wildfire services. Alertable and local emergency alerts carry evacuation orders.
Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
