Wildfire context for Comox Valley Regional District
The Comox Valley includes populated coastal communities, agricultural land, extensive forested uplands, rural interface properties, mountain recreation, watersheds, and major Island travel routes. Fires in the interior forest can matter to access, utilities, outdoor activity, and smoke even when coastal neighbourhoods are far from the incident.
Why this place-level view is useful
Regional-district coverage bridges community pages with rural mountain and forest areas used by residents and visitors. FireRadar supplies official wildfire context while the regional district, municipalities, First Nations, and province remain responsible for emergency notices and access decisions.
Smoke forecast and air quality
Wildfire smoke forecast and measured air-quality information answer different questions. FireRadar keeps ECCC forecast smoke and AQHI observations separate so a model forecast is not presented as a local air-quality measurement.
Official wildfire source for British Columbia
Official incident markers come from the BC Wildfire Service feed. Marker locations are informational and do not replace official emergency notices or local emergency instructions.
Emergency, closure, and travel information
FireRadar is an informational wildfire map. It does not issue evacuation instructions, park closures, road closures, travel advisories, fire bans, campground or trail status, or fire-spread predictions. Follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, parks, transportation, and emergency authorities for operational decisions.
