Introduction
The Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS)
is a computer-based fire management information system that monitors fire danger conditions
across Canada. Daily weather conditions are collected from across Canada
and used to produce fire weather and fire behavior maps. In addition,
satellites are used to detect fires.
This site is divided into three main sections:
- The Background Information
section contains links that provide details about the CWFIS and outline
the processes used to derive the data.
- The Current Conditions section
presents the current fire danger in Canada.
- The Historical Analysis
section provides a fire danger climatology for Canada.
