What stands out about 2025

The 2025 area burned was lower than both 2023 and 2024 in the Province's five-year comparison.

The provincial summary documents both evacuation orders and alerts as separate impact measures.

Current B.C. fire status should always be checked on the live wildfire map and BCWS, not inferred from this historical page.

What this page does not claim

This is not a reconstructed live map of every moment in 2025, not proof of a fire’s status on a particular day, and not a substitute for agency incident archives. FireRadar’s interactive retained-history product begins with its own observation window and remains clearly separate.
