Explore this corridor by question

Open a focused view for official road conditions, closures, incidents, cameras, weather, wildfire context, winter driving or travel alerts. These pages use this exact route scope and keep official travelability separate from environmental context.

Latest highway camera images

These are snapshots—not live video and not proof of travelability. FireRadar proxies only the latest image with short caching and keeps no camera archive.

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.

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.

Data freshness

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.

Weather warnings and wildfire impact

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.

Nearest direct-official active wildfire is 8.9 km from the configured corridor spine.

Nearest available Environment Canada weather point (Clearwater) adds current weather context: gusts 58 km/h.

1 Environment Canada weather alert overlaps the corridor bounding area; alerts are context, not evidence of a road closure.

Nearest official active fire: K21621 · 8.9 km · Under control

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.
