Know Your Resource: BC Wildfire Dashboard

View the location and status of all active wildfires in BC with the Wildfire Dashboard. Understanding the stage of control is important as this is how wildfires are displayed on the map.

An out-of-control wildfire is not responding to fire suppression action and the perimeter spread is not being contained.

When a wildfire is being held, sufficient suppression action has been taken with the resources currently committed to the fire that it is not likely to spread beyond existing or predetermined boundaries under prevailing and forecasted conditions.

A wildfire is declared under control once the fire has received sufficient suppression action to ensure no further spread of fire.

A wildfire is considered out only when the fire has been completely extinguished.
