Fire Danger Information

Blueridge snuggles right up against the forest, and that can mean elevated fire risk, even in our rainy climate. We keep the BCA homepage updated with the current fire danger level year-round as best we can. There are two different sources that we use for that information:

Most often, the current fire danger rating comes from the Provincial Fire Danger Page, which is updated early every afternoon. However, the page is not updated from November to April, since that time is generally low fire danger.

The other potential source of fire danger for our area is the DNV Fire Danger Page, which is updated twice a week during fire season by DNV staff.

Usually, the two pages agree on the two fire danger level. In the case that they do not, the higher danger level is shown on the BCA homepage.

Generally, BCA webmaster updates our homepage in the morning if needed. The time of that update varies, but it’s usually done before 10am. 

If you have any questions about this information, please contact the webmaster.
