Wildfire context for Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park
Cypress Hills rises above surrounding prairie with lodgepole and mixed forest, grassland, campgrounds, trails, lakes, rural roads, and communities on both sides of the provincial boundary. Dry fuels and wind can create different fire conditions than nearby open prairie, while smoke and travel impacts can extend across jurisdictions.
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.
