The dashed outline is FireRadar's curated regional counting extent. Incident points, smoke forecasts, and AQHI observations are separate datasets and should not be interpreted as evacuation boundaries or fire-spread predictions. FireRadar regional extents may overlap near transition areas. Regional totals are useful local summaries and must not be added together to produce a province total.
Regional context
Wildfire context across Alberta Foothills
The Alberta Foothills combine dense conifer forest, mountain-front terrain, energy and forestry operations, recreation areas, rural properties, and long highway corridors. Wildfires can affect work sites, communities, road access, backcountry recreation, utilities, and smoke across large distances, while rapidly changing weather and terrain make local operational decisions the responsibility of official authorities.

Measured conditions
Air quality and AQHI
AQHI and observed PM2.5 provide measured air-quality context and remain distinct from FireWork forecast smoke. Station coverage varies across a region, especially in rural and remote areas.
