Bookmark this site as you can update the map when you want. A lot of layers can be selected. The fire history is useful when planning trips so you know the state of the forest.
It is loading slow today- probably really being checked by more than usual.

Thanks Ralph . I hope things get better fror you.
We had over 2" of rain yesterday and about the same amount is forecast for today. This slow, steady rain will really help with the wildfires and it will bring up our rivers which have been significantly below average flows this spring. I guess that this rain will end our evacuation alert and leave only hotspots to address. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.
This is becoming hard to believe. We are under a rainfall warning and the Town has declared a State of Emergency due to local flooding. I hardly believe that this is happening so I don't blame you if you are doubting.

Oh its the era of weather extremes and the bare ground as a result of wildfires cannot absorb that wetness. You don't need my opinion as what is is. Go high and away. Mudslides are deadly. This is tough when you are in flatlands trying to figure where to go. The water could go anywhere. Report back when it is safe.
yellowcanoe thanks for your concern. We are on high ground. The closest small creek is a few hundred meters away and, although that creek is flooding, we are safe. There is flooding of low lying areas and people who live along waterways are evacuating. We'll see what happens next.

Apparently, there are still many wildfires burning all over Canada and generating oceans of smoke, including over the BWCA and Quetico.

I just got back, well actually in the process of driving back, from northern Saskatchewan. My flight into Cree Lake was delayed a day due to heavy smoke from raging fires in the Northwest Territories. There was also a fire near southern Cree Lake. Some of the days on a three week trip were smoky.
Sounds very juicy, Erica. I hope you have lots of stories and pictures to share with us.
