Introduction: Wildfires are an environmental threat in many parts of the world, including Canada. The economy and the environment get affected negatively by an increase in wildfire frequency and intensity. Policymakers, industry, and municipalities looking to reduce the impact of fires need to be able to understand how wildfires have a relationship with macroeconomic considerations. We analyse 2005 to 2020 this correlation between the rate of forest fires, population increase and Canadian GDP growth.

It is this research's ability to learn about the economic impacts of forest fires and their effects on population development that has made it so important. Understanding their impact on economic growth and demographic patterns will become more important as the fires increase in frequency and severity. In developing actions to reduce the impact of fires and support sustainable development, these data may be useful for governments and businesses. Background: A correlation between wildfire rates, population growth and GDP growth in Canada will be examined in this study. Data sets that cover periods 2005 to 2020 are taken into consideration in this study, which also contains factors like wildfire incidence, population growth or GDP. The study is aimed at the following:

1.) To look into the connection between Canada's population growth and wildfire activity.

2. ) Establish a connection between the rate of wildfires and the expansion of the Canadian GDP.

3.) Examine the interconnected effects of wildfire rates, population growth, and GDP growth using multiple regression analysis.

In order to help policy formulation and decisions be made more effectively, the aim of these analyses is to provide an accurate insight as to how fire, economic growth and population dynamics work together.
