Wildfire context for BC Highway 12 – Lillooet to Fraser Canyon

Highway 12 follows steep, dry Fraser River terrain with grassland, forest patches, Indigenous communities, ranches, rural properties, rail infrastructure, and constrained road geometry. Fires can affect visibility, roadside areas, local access, and connecting routes where terrain limits detours and conditions can change substantially over short distances.
