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 Shuswap

The Shuswap is a forested, lake-rich region with rural properties, seasonal visitors, recreation areas, First Nations communities, and major highway corridors linking the Interior and Rockies. Wildfire impacts often span communities and transportation routes, so a regional page can show the wider incident picture without reducing conditions to a single town-centre distance.

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.
