Fire Locations - Current

Fire Locations - Current Wildfire location points for the current fire season. This includes both active and inactive fires. Data is supplied through various sources and is updated from the operational systems every 15 minutes. These points are rolled over to Historical Fire Points on April 1 of each year. Wildfire data may not reflect the most current fire situation, and therefore should only be used for reference purposes. Wildfire data is refreshed when practicable and individual fire update frequency will vary. The information is intended for general purposes only and should not be relied on as accurate because fires are dynamic and circumstances may change quickly. 2024-04-24 Government of British Columbia BCWILDFIREGEO@gov.bc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technologyemergency managementfire locationfire pointwildfireGovernment information Data - Open item details in ArcGIS Online (AGO)ESRI REST https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=397a1defe7f04c2b8ef6511f6c087dbf Data - Open item details in ArcGIS Online (AGO)ESRI REST https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=397a1defe7f04c2b8ef6511f6c087dbf Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/fire-locations-current Download KML Ground Overlay fileKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.PROT_CURRENT_FIRE_PNTS_SP_loader.kml Download zipped shapefile of current locationsSHP https://pub.data.gov.bc.ca/datasets/2790e3f7-6395-4230-8545-04efb5a18800/ Fire Locations - CurrentWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.PROT_CURRENT_FIRE_PNTS_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.PROT_CURRENT_FIRE_PNTS_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain Fire Locations - CurrentWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.PROT_CURRENT_FIRE_PNTS_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LAND_AND_NATURAL_RESOURCE.PROT_CURRENT_FIRE_PNTS_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
