Kamloops to Prince George wildfire, smoke & road conditions

Follow current official wildfire proximity and smoke along the Kamloops–Prince George Highway 97 corridor through the Cariboo.

Nearby-fire distances use a FireRadar-curated regional route spine between major checkpoints. This is not turn-by-turn road geometry, a closure feed, a fire-spread forecast, or a determination that any route is open, passable or safe.

A low count or large nearest-fire distance does not mean unrestricted travel. Wildfire points do not represent every possible hazard, and official transportation and emergency authorities remain authoritative.
