Each flame marks where a fire was reported, not where its edge is right now — real fires spread, markers don't move.
What do OC, BH, and UC mean?
Canadian agencies report stage of control, not U.S.-style containment percentages: OC = Out of control, BH = Being held, UC = Under control. We show the official code exactly as reported, with its plain-English meaning.
Where do I find evacuation orders for British Columbia?
Official evacuation orders and alerts for BC are issued by local governments and First Nations and collected on EmergencyInfoBC — always follow the official notice for your community, and call 911 in an emergency.
