Smoke from wildfires firesmoke.ca forests and grasslands can be a major source of air pollution for Canadians, firesmoke.ca. The fine particles in the smoke can be a serious risk to health, firesmoke.ca, particularly for children, seniors and those with heart or lung disease. Because smoke may be carried thousands of kilometres downwind, distant locations can be affected firesmoke.ca as severely as areas close to the fire.

Ground level concentration of particulate matter 2. The BlueSky Canada smoke forecast is our current best estimate of when and where wildfire smoke events may occur over the next two days. The map may not agree exactly with local smoke concentrations and timing, and should be used with care. For additional information please consult the FAQ. This BlueSky Canada smoke forecast is considered experimental because it is produced by a modeling system that is an ongoing research project and subject to uncertainties in fire data and emissions, weather forecasts, and smoke dispersion. The system uses satellite detections to locate fires; if cloud cover or smoke obscures the detection of fires from space, the resulting emissions from these fires will not be included in the smoke forecast.

A hotspot is a satellite image pixel with high infrared intensity, indicating a heat source. Hotspots from known industrial sources are removed; the remaining hotspots represent vegetation fires, which can be in forest, grass, cropland, or logging debris. A hotspot may represent one fire or be one of several hotspots representing a larger fire. Not all fires can be identified from satellite imagery, either because the fires are too small or because cloud cover obscures the satellite's view of the ground. It is a numeric rating of fire intensity.
