Wildfire context for Alberta Highway 35 – Mackenzie Highway
Highway 35 is a long northern lifeline through boreal forest, wetlands, energy and forestry activity, rural properties, remote service areas, and widely separated communities. Fires can affect freight, community travel, work sites, emergency logistics, and visibility along sections with few practical alternatives.
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 Alberta
Official incident status comes from Alberta Wildfire. FireRadar excludes records that do not meet the direct-feed active-status rules used by the public map.
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.
