      Wondering why a major fire in Halifax, capitol of Nova Scotia,Canada is not included.
      I don t know how your sources work but when I signed on for premium, I thought you d have good source information.
      Yes you have one in western NS but there s a mass evacuation in the city now.

        @csedne As far as I understand their source for wildfire information is based on Copernicus satellite data (https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/global-fire-emissions).
        I don't think they are ingesting agency data, like CWFIS in Canada for example (https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/datamart/metadata/activefires)

          These wildfires are now visible in the Fire layers.

          They are detected by Satellites and needs some hours to see them in Windy. The update intervals are 24 hours.
