Wildfire context for Alberta Highway 93 – Icefields Parkway
The Icefields Parkway crosses a long mountain corridor of conifer forest, alpine terrain, glaciers, campgrounds, trailheads, visitor facilities, and limited services inside national parks. Fire or transported smoke can affect visibility, recreation, and travel at locations far from either Jasper or Banff townsites.
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.
