Wildfire activity low so far — but a hot and dry summer could change that, officials warn
Posted on: May 28, 2026 22:05 IST | Posted by: Cbc
The take up to the 2026 wildfire flavor has been slow up with the list of fires raging crosswise the country well below average, but government officials warn that as the summer progresses there's a risk things could get much worse.Â
"Despite the fact that we're seeing so little activity so far this year ⦠this summer retains the potential to be a significant one right across the country," a government official said Thursday during a background briefing.Â
The official said that while the wildfire risk is unlikely to result in a record-breaking year like 2023 or 2025, the federal government is forecasting above average conditions as the season progresses.
Whether that happens depends, officials explained, on what happens to the weather over the next few months.
