B.C. is in the midst of another busy wildfire season as the 2024 summer continues.

BC Wildfire Service crews are deployed to wildfires around the province.

Use the live and interactive map above to search for the wildfires, perimeters, evacuation orders and alerts.

Evacuation orders and denoted by a red triangle, while an orange triangle denotes evacuation alerts.

A wildfire of note is also a red triangle but flames can be seen in the centre, as opposed to an exclamation point.

The orange circles are wildfires that are out of control, the yellow circles are fires that are being held and the green circles are fires under control.

As you zoom into the map and explore, you will also see red outlines, which shows wildfire perimeters. These are fires, often thousands of hectares in size, which indicate fires that have merged and become clusters.
