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.

Wildfire context across Cariboo
The Cariboo covers a broad Interior landscape of forest, ranch land, lakes, resource roads, Indigenous communities, and long north-south transportation corridors. Fires may be separated by substantial distances yet still affect regional roads, forestry, agriculture, remote properties, community services, and smoke, so a regional page provides a practical layer between local maps and the full British Columbia view.

Forecast layer
Cariboo smoke forecast
Use FireRadar's ECCC FireWork smoke forecast to see modelled smoke movement across and beyond Cariboo. Forecast smoke is not proof that a nearby wildfire is the source of local smoke.
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.
