Wildfire context for Thompson-Nicola Regional District
The Thompson-Nicola spans dry grasslands, forest, ranch country, lakes, rural settlements, First Nations, resource roads, and major highway corridors. Wildfires can affect communities, utilities, agriculture, and transportation over large distances within the regional district.
Why this place-level view is useful
Regional-district wildfire searches often rise during active incidents because emergency and local-government information is organized at this scale. FireRadar provides a current wildfire-and-smoke overview while local authorities remain responsible for official emergency messaging.
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, or fire-spread predictions. Follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, parks, transportation, and emergency authorities for operational decisions.
