Wildfire context for Top of the World Provincial Park
Top of the World Provincial Park sits in rugged East Kootenay backcountry with forested approach roads, mountain lakes, alpine trails, and long distances from major services. Fires can affect recreation access, forestry-road approaches, visibility, and smoke even when an incident is outside the park itself.
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 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, 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.
