Canada Braces for Severe Wildfire Season as Ministers Report Escalating Threats

Ministers warn of a severe 2025 wildfire season as over 3.7 million hectares have already burned across five provinces. With 225 active fires—more than half out of control—federal leaders urge vigilance as extreme heat and drought fuel further risk. Successful evacuations in Manitoba and Ontario highlight joint emergency efforts, while forecasts predict worsening conditions into August. Officials stress the growing toll of climate change and encourage Canadians to stay informed through national fire and air quality resources.
