Route map & wildfire context
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.
Fire restrictions along Highway 5 — Coquihalla · Clearwater → Valemount
Official alerts & forecast context
Check Environment Canada warnings and DriveBC. FireRadar does not infer visibility, snowfall or traction when an official field is absent.
Environment Canada warnings →Current corridor assessment
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 →Each source stands alone
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.
