BC is writing a hard chapter. The map is how we stay kind to each other.

Live · Official sources tracked · Updated 2026-10-04

Somewhere in British Columbia tonight, a family is packing a car they hoped they would never need. Somewhere else, a camper is refreshing a map instead of roasting marshmallows. Right now the province is tracking about 75 active wildfires (1 out of control, 0 fire of note) out of 1441 this season — open data updated 2026-10-04T16:30+00:00. Near the Okanagan, open data flags Bald Range at ~25163.2 ha (Under Control). We built a live map so visitors and locals can see the same public layer firefighters and travellers use, then make safer plans: smoke days, closed corridors, and when to cancel Westside Road dreams near Kelowna. This is not fear content. It is respect — for crews on the line, for communities under alert, and for anyone who still wants to love BC summers without driving into harm.

If you know a camper headed for the Interior, send them the map before they buy ice. That is love in fire season.
