Wildfire context for BC Highway 23 – Revelstoke to Mica

North Highway 23 follows a long reservoir and mountain corridor through dense forest, hydroelectric infrastructure, recreation areas, resource access, and sparsely populated terrain. Wildfires can affect remote work sites, recreation access, visibility, and the single main road connection even when an incident is far from Revelstoke itself.

Smoke forecast, air quality and fire weather

Smoke forecasts, measured AQHI and Fire Danger ratings describe different conditions. FireRadar shows each separately so one is not mistaken for another.

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.
