About firedanger.ca
As the global climate continues to change, wild fires are
increasingly a risk we face in all parts of the world. In Canada,
our vast forests and grasslands provide ample fuel for this trend to
continue. Whether you're in a rural area, a suburb, or a city - wild
fires can affect you. They can endanger your home up close and they
can pollute the air you breathe from afar.
This site will leverage some of the open data sources available to
alert you to any risks to your area.
