Wildfire context for Okanagan Lake
Okanagan Lake is surrounded by dense communities, rural and interface properties, steep dry slopes, parks, campgrounds, wineries, beaches, and major travel corridors. A wildfire on one side of the lake can affect smoke, visibility, boating, recreation, and travel across a much wider area.
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.
