Climate change is causing extreme weather conditions,
more intense fires,
and longer wildfire seasons.
This is a challenge for those who live with and those who manage wildfires.
WildFireSat is a satellite mission that will monitor
all active wildfires in Canada on a daily basis.
It will provide reliable data to allow for better prediction of fire

and allow for more targeted and faster evacuations.
The WildFireSat mission will provide more precise information on smoke,
air quality conditions, and the carbon emitted by wildfires.
