More than 930 wildfires are burning across Canada as of Monday, with several threatening communities and forcing residents to flee or prepare to evacuate at a moment’s notice.
The fires have also sent smoke billowing to other parts of the country and beyond its borders, prompting air quality warnings from Environment Canada and the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Here’s an overview of the current situation, in maps and charts.

How did Carney respond to Trump on Canadian wildfires?
Two days after threatening new tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke, U.S. President Donald Trump brought up the matter with Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Cup final on Sunday.
Trump said he told Carney that Canada must do better at controlling Ontario wildfires, the origin of the smoke the president said on Friday had “invaded” American cities on Friday and still lingers across much of the U.S. midwest.
Carney has not directly responded to Trump, though he has said all countries including the U.S. must do more to address climate change.
The prime minister said Sunday more than 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers and other aircraft are battling blazes.

Is the U.S. helping Canada with its wildfire response?
Several U.S. states sent firefighters to help Canada during the 2025 wildfire season, but so far no American help has been sent this year.
On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said it’s “unacceptable” that Trump has chosen to criticize Canada’s wildfire response and threaten tariffs rather than sending help, like the province has helped U.S. states during past disasters.
“Rather than criticize and threaten Canada, your closest friends, maybe one day you’re going to need our help,” Ford said.
On Sunday, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff of California criticized Trump and said states should “show some humanity” and step up to help their neighbours “without the threats.”
“When California was burning, Canada sent fire fighters, planes and assistance — not insults,” the Democrat said in a post on X.
