2024 Canadian wildfires

About 150 fires from the 2023 wildfire season managed to continue smouldering underground over the relatively low-snow winter, and re-ignited as early as February 2024.

In May 2024, more wildfires broke out in western Canada. The provinces of Alberta and British Columbia are affected.

The fires threaten Canada's largest oilfields. Fort McMurray is particularly affected. The neighbourhoods of Beacon Hill, Abasand, Prairie Creek and Grayling Terrace were ordered to evacuate. The size of an area under an evacuation order in Grande Prairie County was reduced. Alberta Highway 63 was gridlocked as residents attempt to evacuate the city. Edmonton has been affected by smoke and poor air quality.

In British Columbia, wildfires threaten the town of Fort Nelson. The Parker Lake fire blocked a highway.
