Wildfire context around Whitecourt

How to read local distance results
Distances are calculated from the centre of the selected location to the point supplied for each record. The local activity list is limited to 100 km. A fire can be large, irregularly shaped, remote, or represented by a reference point rather than an exact perimeter.
