Wildfires have burned areas measuring 100 times the size of Toronto in 2023 Canada
That's significantly larger than the entire province of Prince Edward Island's land area of 5,660 km².
If that comparison isn't concerning enough, the area affected by wildfires is 178.71 km² larger than the combined area of the world's seven smallest countries. If you add up the land area of microstates Vatican City, Monaco, Nauru, Tuvalu, San Marino, Liechtenstein, and the Marshall Islands, you are still only at 71.6 per cent of the area of Canada burned so far this year.
Much of this unprecedented forest fire wave is occurring in Quebec, however, there have been close to 300 wildfires in Ontario alone this season. Not even 100 had burned by the same time in 2022. An aerial fire suppression team remains on site of Cochrane 11 this evening, west of the community of Fort Albany. The fire’s size is estimated at 300 hectares and the temperature in the area is 30 degrees early this evening.
