  1. Update for today.
    Alberta has 130 active wild fires now. I pulled the numbers for my graph about an hour ago and it was 128 then.

    Also, there are 52 Out of Control now.

    I added their graph for 'Five Year Wildfire Comparison by Current Date' to show in terms of COUNT we are about the same as several recent years. I consider this a kind of rho-gains type graph as simply counting is not helpful really.

  2. Redone graph including non-fires right now. They have 670 Extinguished fires which tends to really push down the graph of actual fires at present. Since these are not active, I am choosing to add fires yet to be seen. I estimate them at a few thousand. It is a bitter joke to make the extinguished fires seem visually small.

    Two other graphics included for context.

  3. Looking at the Alberta Wildfire Status map & dashboard. Firstly, only 109 active fires right now excluding mutual aid fires but does include 4 held over from 2023.

    There are 36 Out of Control, 32 Being Held, and 37 Under Control. None are of size or location to trigger evacuations.

    The area burned so far this year has passed 2022 but has a long way to go to get out of third behind 2019 and 2013.
