2024 wildfire season forecast: How and where will fires spread in Canada this summer?

A cooler start to spring in much of Canada has meant that active fires and area burned in wildfires is within “average parameters,” but government officials are warning that “the risk of damaging wildfires remains significant.”

This year, a total of 730 fires have been recorded, with 1.47 million hectares burned. There are currently 87 active fires across Canada, with six out of control, 15 being held and 66 that have been brought under control.

Officials said the situation could worsen quickly given that much of Canada is still facing drought conditions, that have persisted for the last 12 months.
