Every wildfire the BC Wildfire Service recorded from 1986 to 2025, 77,316 fires, and this summer's so far. Fires of 10 ha and more are circles drawn to the true size of the area they burned; smaller fires are dots. Pick a season on the slider or on the bars below.
Source: Canadian Wildland Fire Information System, National Fire Database, BC Wildfire Service records (fire points, final size in hectares, the date each fire was reported). 2026 is the season in progress, from the BC Wildfire Service's current fire points: the fires that started by 18 August, each at its latest reported size, which is not final. It has a dashed bar and stays out of "all", the slider's last stop, which overlays the forty complete seasons. A circle's area is the fire's area; its centre is the reported point of origin, not the perimeter. Filters apply to the map, the totals and the bars alike.
