Know Your Resource: BC Wildfire Dashboard

There are currently 16 wildfires within the Coastal Fire Centre. View the location and status of all active wildfires in BC with the BC 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 is not contained.

When a wildfire is being held, sufficient suppression action has been taken with the resources currently committed to the fire. 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.
