The Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB) Fire Point and Polygon Data is a collection of forest fire locations and fire perimeters as provided by Canadian fire management agencies including provinces, territories, and Parks Canada. The forest fire data contained in the CNFDB have a wide range of uses including national scale mapping, statistical and spatial analysis and research involving natural disturbance.
Note that the "large fire" version of the database includes only large fires greater than 200 hectares (as reported by agency) — these represent a small percentage of all fires but account for most of the area burned (usually more than 97%).
