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 Northern Rockies
The Northern Rockies span an enormous landscape of boreal forest, muskeg, mountain terrain, Indigenous lands, energy and resource activity, remote recreation, and long sections of the Alaska Highway. Wildfires can affect road access, work camps, communities, aviation, tourism, utilities, and smoke over very large distances where alternate travel routes and emergency services are limited.

Latest completed comparison
What changed around Northern Rockies
Matched regional examples from FireRadar's completed 2026-08-13 → 2026-08-14 direct-official comparison. The retained incident-detail list is intentionally bounded, so absence here is not presented as proof that nothing changed in the region.
No regional incident from the bounded daily detail list matched a current source-provided point inside this extent. Use the province comparison for the complete jurisdiction-level counts.
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.
