Wildfire context for BC Highway 29 – Peace River Corridor

Highway 29 crosses boreal and foothill forest, the Peace River valley, energy and construction areas, rural properties, ranch land, and communities connected by long road sections. Wildfires can affect industrial traffic, community access, work sites, utilities, and visibility at points far from the larger centres at either end.

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.
