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:

During fire season, the data generally 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 source of fire danger for our area is the DNV Fire Danger Page, which is updated twice a week by DNV staff.

Regardless of the source, each morning the BCA webmaster updates our homepage to match. The time of that update varies, but it’s usually done before 10am. 

Where the sources disagree about the fire danger for our specific location, we report the higher danger level.

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