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.
