Wildfire context for BC Highway 97 Corridor
Highway 97 is a long north-south corridor connecting the Okanagan, Thompson-Cariboo, Prince George region, Peace country, and Alaska Highway system. Wildfire relevance changes continuously along the route, so this page provides a stable corridor anchor and links into local community pages rather than claiming route-wide road status.
Why this place-level view is useful
During wildfire season, travellers often search the highway name before they search a municipality. FireRadar can show wildfire and smoke context around the corridor, while DriveBC remains the authority for closures, detours, incidents, and 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.
Official wildfire source for British Columbia
Official incident markers come from the BC Wildfire Service feed. Marker locations are informational and do not replace official emergency notices or local emergency instructions.
Emergency, closure, and travel information
FireRadar is an informational wildfire map. It does not issue evacuation instructions, park closures, road closures, travel advisories, or fire-spread predictions. Follow the applicable provincial, territorial, municipal, Indigenous, parks, transportation, and emergency authorities for operational decisions.
