How the 0–100 New Brunswick risk score works
Model ca-v1.0 (2026-08)A transparent weighted blend of four openly-licensed federal datasets, pulled live for your exact coordinates — the same 0–100 scale and tier bands as our U.S. reports, so a High here means the same thing everywhere. Government danger maps are labeled inputs, never re-badged as our score.
NFDB large-fire records + NBAC mapped burns (NRCan) — distance-decayed, since 2000
CWFIS official danger class at the point (SCRIBE forecast, updated daily)
CWFIF national active fires within 40 km — distance, stage of control, size
Copernicus DEM elevation — fire spreads up to 8× faster uphill
New Brunswick wildfire risk FAQ
How risky is New Brunswick for wildfire?
New Brunswick's wildfire window peaks in spring, when dry Acadian-forest fuels burn before green-up. Most fires are small and human-caused, but dry years bring genuine forest-fire stretches across the province's timberlands. Risk varies enormously street to street — the free report scores your exact address on a 0–100 scale from federal Canadian data.
How is the 0–100 Canadian score calculated?
It blends four openly-licensed federal datasets, pulled live for your coordinates: burn history near the address (NFDB + NBAC, 35%), today's official fire-danger class (CWFIS, 30%), live fire activity within 40 km (CWFIF, 20%), and slope (15%). A source with no data for your point is dropped and the weights renormalize — never guessed. The full formula is published on the methodology page.
Is this the same as the government fire danger rating?
No — government danger maps are labeled inputs, never re-badged as our score. The official CWFIS danger class near your address appears inside the report as its own factor, shown with its official class name.
How do I check a New Brunswick address?
