Wildfire context for BC Highway 24 – Interlakes

Highway 24 crosses forested plateau country between the Cariboo and North Thompson, passing lakes, cabins, ranches, recreation sites, rural properties, and side roads with limited alternate connections. Wildfires can affect visibility, access to lake communities, recreation traffic, forestry activity, and smoke along sections far from a large service centre.

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.

Wildfire, weather, smoke and longer-range context

Each source answers a different question. Road events, wildfire perimeters, fire danger, smoke forecasts, measured AQHI, seasonal outlooks and drought conditions remain separate so their limits stay clear.
