Wildfire since 1996

What this map shows

Share of the land inside a mapped wildfire perimeter since 1996

The strongest colour is about the top tenth of places with a figure; the fainter ones hold about the next 15%, 20% and 25%, and the faintest about the lowest 30%. Places with the same figure share a colour, so a group can hold a little more or less. Measures that take only a few values, poor-air days and hardiness zones, are grouped by fixed classes instead, marked on the bar at their edges. Places with no figure, or too small a base to rank, are left uncoloured. Lot lines are the province's open parcel map (ParcelMap BC): it shows titled lots and most Crown parcels, and its sizes are mapped, not surveyed.

All 215 places

Most recent mapped wildfire year at the top three: Barriere 2003, Lytton 2021, Okanagan-Similkameen, Electoral Area B 2023. 5 of the top 10 are in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

Each share covers the place's whole land area, so no place is too small to rank. The land area beside it shows how much ground the share covers: a small town's high share can be a few square kilometres.

Beside each figure: the land burned and the place's land area.
