The highway is the orange route focus. Official fires, recent out fires, smoke and AQHI remain independently sourced layers. FireRadar does not convert them into a travel-safety claim.
Check Environment Canada warnings and DriveBC. FireRadar does not infer visibility, snowfall or traction when an official field is absent.
Environment Canada warnings →Below, FireRadar publishes a conservative current corridor assessment using direct-official wildfire information and available Environment Canada weather context. It is not a fire-spread forecast or travel-safety score.
View fire danger →Integrated road events revalidate every 5 minutes. Camera metadata revalidates every 6 hours; images use short-lived edge caching. An unavailable source stays unavailable—not zero.
FireRadar methodology →Environment Canada weather and FireRadar's current wildfire corridor assessment are shown separately from the transportation authority's official road state. Neither is a statement that travel is safe.
No Environment Canada weather alert geometry currently matches the corridor bounding area. This is not a guarantee of benign road conditions.
Nearest direct-official active wildfire is 51 km from the configured corridor spine.
Current heuristic only. FireRadar does not predict future fire spread in this stage and deliberately caps point-based assessments below Critical. Official road travelability remains separate.
