Forest Fire Information ' At Your Fingertips

Media Advisory

Forest fires cannot always be prevented. However, having the right information tools can help manage them and reduce their impact on life and property. To provide useful information about forest fire conditions across the country, Natural Resources Canada's Canadian Forest Service (CFS) offers a unique Web site at http://fire.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/index_e.php. The Web site includes daily fire maps from the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System that show current fire-danger conditions across Canada, as well as hot spots and areas affected by smoke. You'll also find a weekly National Forest Fire Situation Report giving a summary of current fire activity and a forecast for the coming week. There are also facts about forest fires, information about CFS's fire-research activities, and links to provincial and territorial fire agencies. The CFS is the foremost forest science organization in Canada. It plays a vital role in national and international forest-policy development in support of a healthy forest and a strong forest sector.
