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 →Use the route map to inspect active fires and verified wildfire layers near the corridor. A validated corridor-risk model remains intentionally unpublished.
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.
