In 2025, wildfires in Canada are burning with a ferocity seldom seen: already 7–8 million hectares of land have been lost to flame, putting the season firmly in the top two worst years ever documented. This scale matters not only for carbon emissions, air quality, and ecosystem damage, but also for human health, fire suppression costs, and the vulnerability of communities near wildland-urban interfaces. The accelerating trend of massive fire seasons underscores broader pressures: climate warming, prolonged droughts, and the challenges of reactive forest management. However, there are caveats — the exact hectare figure can vary depending on reporting dates and methodology, and not all burned area is equally destructive (some is remote forest). Still, even conservative estimates show that Canada is facing a “new normal” in wildfire intensity, demanding serious policy responses now.
