US EditionThe 2025 Wildfire Season Is on Track to Be Canada’s 2nd
- On June 11, 2025, a wildfire located to the north of Squamish, British Columbia, remained uncontrolled, leading to evacuation alerts affecting hundreds of local residents.
- The ongoing fire season resulted from a combination of drought and higher-than-expected temperatures across western and northern Canada, elevating wildfire risk.
- Canada is experiencing approximately 225 active wildfires, with 121 out of control, consuming over 3.7 million hectares—an area six times larger than Prince Edward Island—mainly in the Prairie provinces.
- Michael Norton from Natural Resources Canada noted that the total land affected by wildfires so far this year ranks just below the unprecedented level seen during the 2023 fire season at this point in time.
- The intense 2025 wildfire season, officially reported on June 12, suggests challenging months ahead with continued elevated risks, especially in southern British Columbia and northern regions.
