Wildfire context for Williston Lake

Williston Lake is an enormous reservoir extending through boreal and mountain terrain with hydroelectric infrastructure, resource and forestry roads, Indigenous territories, remote recreation, work sites, and very sparse settlement. Fires can affect access, industrial operations, camps, utilities, and smoke hundreds of kilometres from the lake's central point.
