Wildfire context for Alberta Highway 40 – Forestry Trunk Road
Highway 40 runs through extensive foothill and mountain forest with parks, trailheads, energy and forestry operations, work camps, remote recreation, and long stretches between communities. Wildfires can affect access to industrial and recreation areas while smoke and visibility vary considerably along the north-south corridor.
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.
