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%). |

The database is a large collaborative effort by all Canadian fire agencies. Links to the agency web sites can be found http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/ha/nfdb, or can be found through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC) website at http://www.ciffc.ca. We thank the many individuals who contributed to this effort, including fire crews, field personnel, photo interpreters, pilots, digitizers, and analysts. Compilation of the Canada-wide database was partially supported by the Canadian government programs of ENFOR (ENergy from the FORest), the Program on Energy Research and Development, the Climate Change Action Fund, and Action Plan 2000.
