Only you can prevent forest fires.

Canada's 2026 wildfires were started by a mix of natural lightning 
strikes, human activity, and severe seasonal drought.

Thousands of natural lightning strikes triggered remote forest 
ignitions, particularly in western Canada and Ontario.

Campfires, equipment use, and accidental sparks and other human activity 
accounted for a significant portion of the initial flare-ups.
