Where they are, how much has burned and how it's changing air quality

Canada recently experienced two of its worst wildfire seasons on record.

More than five million hectares burned last year — the most ever recorded, aside from 2023, when wildfires scorched 16 million hectares.

Alberta was hit especially hard, including the popular tourist town of Jasper, where a third of the community burned in July 2024.

Early signs point to another active wildfire season in 2025, particularly in Western Canada.

Here is an up-to-date look at the country's wildfire situation today.
