Wildfire context for BC Highway 37A – Stewart Spur
Highway 37A is a short but highly constrained mountain corridor through dense coastal-interior forest, steep valleys, glaciers, resource activity, and limited roadside services. Wildfire, smoke, or other incidents can affect access to Stewart while alternate road options are effectively absent.
Why this place-level view is useful
Stewart's access depends on this single spur from Highway 37, making corridor wildfire context materially different from a community-centre view. FireRadar provides official fire proximity while DriveBC remains authoritative for closures, restrictions, and current road conditions.
Smoke forecast and air quality
Wildfire smoke forecast and measured air-quality information answer different questions. FireRadar keeps ECCC forecast smoke and AQHI observations separate so a model forecast is not presented as a local air-quality measurement.

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.
