Driving route & wildfire context
A road route plus source-labelled BCWS incident points, mapped evacuation areas, DriveBC still images and an opt-in community-mapped fire-station layer. Not a safety assessment.

Limitations: a BCWS incident point is not a mapped fire perimeter. A line/polygon intersection is a spatial reference, not a clearance. This tool does not evaluate road closures, visibility, smoke exposure, conditions, or official evacuation instructions. Follow EmergencyInfoBC and DriveBC.
No route evidence is available until a road route is returned.

- Location lookup: curated public B.C. places, GPS, coordinates or a street address. Community names are matched locally and never sent to a geocoder. A street address is looked up as you type through the Province of British Columbia's public address service (no key or account, and the service sees the text you type); Fire Aware keeps only the chosen point's coordinates and never stores the address itself. A picked address stays in the box and is only shared with a map provider when you open one of the external navigation links. Do not enter unit numbers, gate codes or other confidential information. Calculating a route sends its waypoint coordinates to the public Project OSRM routing service; external navigation links may share place names or coordinates with the selected map provider.
- Fire stations: OpenStreetMap community mapping; incomplete, potentially outdated and not an emergency-service directory. When this optional layer is enabled, the map centre is sent by POST through Fire Aware to Overpass (an OpenStreetMap data service).

GPS Navigation Apps Recalculate Routes
External apps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze) calculate their own driving routes on their own servers and do NOT follow Fire Aware's wildfire avoidance corridor. They may direct you into active wildfire perimeters, heavy smoke, or road closures. Cross-reference with DriveBC and EmergencyInfoBC before travel.
