Current Wildfire Activity

Acquire information on BC's current forest fire activities, such as specific wildfire details, fire countermeasures, state-wide fire hazard level

Wildfires are particularly visible or threaten public safety, classify wildfire as "Warning for forest fires" and provide detailed information when information becomes available.

The fire risk level is used to indicate how quickly the fire occurs and spreads easily in that area and it is used to indicate which region is at risk of intense wildfire activity. Learn about current fire hazards in your area and information on other fire weather.

Get the local profile of the fire season and regional statistics including the number of fires that started and the number of burned areas

Read news and up-to-date information on BC's forest fire response, ban and restrictions, and other forest fire themes

Know if smoke caused by a mountain fire affects your region's air quality and what it means to your health

The following link lists all the wildfires (0.01 hectare or more) including the wildfire that is currently taking place in British Columbia. "All wildfire" includes all the wildfires that occurred at a specific fire department this year, but "active wildfire" displays only the fire that is currently being handled.

The following links can be used to view fire, regulations, wildfires, fire statistics, press releases in specific areas.

There are many ways in which human activities can unintentionally or intentionally cause wildfires. An average of 40% of the wildfires in British Columbia are caused by burning substances such as burning, using engines and cars, falling cigarettes, or other human activities that may generate sparks. The heat source is enough to make a forest fire. The most important factor causing human fires is that they are preventable. All wildfires in British Columbia are being investigated according to the cause and cause of the fire. The cause and cause of the wildfires caused by lightning strikes can be located relatively easily, but other causes of wildfires may involve extensive complex surveys. Before the wildfire project was investigated and confirmed, BC Wildfire Services reported the cause as "under investigation."

The risk of forest fires is the possibility that human worth is lost if forest fires start or reach in a specific area and wild fires occur. Risks are subject to variables such as human activity, weather patterns, availability of fuels for forest fires, possibility of fire suppression or lack of resources. Wildfire has always been a threat to mankind. However, due to artificial geographical conditions and climate change, exposure to forest fires becomes frequent, and the risk of forest fires increases. The increase in forest fire originated from the century of suppression of forest fires, and human development is presumed to spread rapidly to the wilderness where fire tends to occur. Wildfire is a natural occurrence that contributes to forest health. Global warming and climate change lead to an increase in temperature and an increase in drought, leading to an increase in the risk of forest fires
