Wildfire seasons are lengthening and fire is increasingly entering the wildland-urban interface, with smoke affecting health far from the fire and burned slopes raising flood and debris-flow risk. This section of the Hazards and disaster risk reduction subsite sets records for active fire detections, fire danger, burned area and smoke so that fire agencies, health authorities and land managers use satellite and ground evidence with stated detection limits. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.

Each coupling names the mechanism that links this area to another; select a card on the canvas to trace it. Mechanisms are stated in the context bank (PROPOSED).
Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.
Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.
No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

Relations are register entries (NS-14), never conformance or equivalence statements; hover or focus a relation for its meaning. Names of standards bodies and their standards belong to their stewards and are used only to identify the documents; no text of an external standard is reproduced here.

A console computes from the registry and shows its reasons; it never decides, approves or certifies.
GCRI Canada may admit fire records with sensor, overpass time and confidence as research evidence; GCRI Canada decides under its own evidence and research rules, and no approval is implied.
GRF may record fire agencies publishing on the shared profile as a dialogue item; GRF decides under its own recognition rules, and no recognition or endorsement is implied.
GRA may read fire exposure records when it considers land and infrastructure finance in fire-prone regions; GRA decides under its own capital-readiness rules, and no approval, rating or investment view is implied.
Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.
Fire detection, danger, burned area and smoke records with detection limits stated.
No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.
Peer-reviewed sources and published statistics on the publishers' own domains, as the context entry cites them. No Risk Academy faculty pathway is linked to this area yet; one is linked when a faculty publishes a pathway that fits.
Risk Academy disciplines that teach Wildfire and vegetation fire standards, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
Propose a change, join the working group or name a source. Area entries are PROPOSED content for the Nexus Standards registry; a UNI identifies and never certifies, and nothing on this site is a certification, an approval or a readiness statement.
