Fraser Valley wildfire map & smoke conditions

Track official wildfires, smoke forecast, and air-quality conditions across the Fraser Valley from Maple Ridge and Mission through Abbotsford and Chilliwack to Hope.

Use the regional view to understand official incident geography across multiple communities, then compare forecast smoke and measured AQHI before drawing conclusions about local air quality.

Regional membership is based on FireRadar's curated geographic extent and source-provided incident point locations. It is not an emergency boundary, predicted spread area, or municipal jurisdiction.

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.

Stations can be far from rural or remote parts of a region. The nearest observation may not represent conditions everywhere inside the regional boundary.

Regional context

Wildfire context across Fraser Valley

The Fraser Valley combines dense population centres, agricultural land, forested mountain interfaces, river corridors, recreation areas, and critical highway and rail connections. Even when few wildfire points are inside the valley itself, nearby mountain incidents and transported smoke can affect several communities at once, so a regional view adds useful context without creating separate smoke-only doorway pages.

Forecast layer

Fraser Valley smoke forecast

Use FireRadar's ECCC FireWork smoke forecast to see modelled smoke movement across and beyond Fraser Valley. 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.

Official source and emergency information

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.

FireRadar does not issue evacuation orders, emergency notices, road closures, or fire-spread predictions. Follow provincial, municipal, Indigenous, and emergency authorities for current instructions.
