    The Newfoundland and Labrador Active Wildfire Dashboard highlights active wildfires, size and location of fires, fire suppression activities, and more.

    Government has launched a new dashboard to provide residents with important information related to forest fires. The Newfoundland and Labrador Active Wildfire Dashboard highlights active wildfires, size and location of fires, fire suppression activities, and more. Similar dashboards are being used across the country in various jurisdictions, and the public and professionals alike are finding the tool helpful. Government is also recognizing today, National Tree Planting Day, by giving away spruce tree seedlings at Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture offices in Pasadena and St. George’s.
