New Brunswick has unveiled an upgraded wildfire dashboard and a new Fire Watch website to help residents stay informed during wildfire season. The enhanced tools provide real-time information on active fires, evacuation orders, and air quality levels across the province.
Key Features of the Dashboard
The updated dashboard includes interactive maps showing fire perimeters, hotspots, and containment status. Users can also access historical data and weather forecasts to better understand fire risks in their area. The Fire Watch website offers safety tips, emergency contact numbers, and links to local resources.
Government Statements
Officials emphasized the importance of these tools in improving public safety and response coordination. The launch comes after a devastating wildfire season in 2025, which saw significant damage in the Miramichi area.
Residents are encouraged to use the dashboard to monitor conditions and follow evacuation orders when issued. The province also reminds everyone to report any signs of fire immediately.
