Current direct-official wildfire proximity and FireRadar corridor assessment for this highway scope, kept separate from official road travelability.
Current wildfire corridor risk

2 active official wildfire points are within 5 km of the configured corridor spine.
2 Environment Canada weather alerts overlap the corridor bounding area; alerts are context, not evidence of a road closure.
Current heuristic only. It is not an official road state, evacuation instruction, fire-spread forecast, or statement that travel is safe. Point-based stage-11 assessments are deliberately capped below Critical.
FireRadar is an informational service. Transportation authorities remain authoritative for road status, restrictions and closures; emergency and wildfire authorities remain authoritative for evacuation and public-safety instructions.
