This is Ontario’s worst wildfire season, early estimates suggest. It’s not over yet.
The province’s latest numbers suggest fires have burned through more than 7,250 square kilometres of Ontario’s forest, surpassing the previous record set in 2021. “There hasn’t been enough rain in the northwestern part (of Ontario) to really knock things down for the long term,” said Liam Buchart, a fire weather specialist with the Canadian Forest Service. The preliminary area-burned estimates are compiled by the province’s wildfire agency and shared with Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, a non-profit that co-ordinates firefighting resources across the country.
