An interactive replay uses satellite fire detections, road data, and population estimates to illustrate which roads and residents may be cut off.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: People assessing wildfire road access in BC
Worth noticing: It marks roads within 100 m of satellite detections, while warning that closures and drive times are not validated.

Field notes

The example combines NASA FIRMS detections with OpenStreetMap roads and a 2025 WorldPop population grid, which the page identifies as modelled rather than census data. Its road-access estimates use a 100 m distance from detections, and the Highway 97 scenario applies the documented closure from August 8, 2026. The site reports a comparison with the official fire perimeter, but says its closure and drive-time estimates have not been validated.
