Companion to 911
WildFire-Ready is a companion to 911 and official emergency services — not a replacement. In an emergency, call 911 and follow the instructions of local authorities, Alert Ready, EmergencyInfoBC, and Alberta Emergency.
Data accuracy
Fire, air quality, road, weather, and detection information shown in the app comes from public government sources. Those feeds can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. Always confirm critical details with the authoritative source before acting.
Fire restrictions
Fire bans, campfire restrictions, and off-road vehicle restrictions are issued by provincial regulators. Only their current, official posting is authoritative. Check the regulator directly before lighting a fire or travelling.
Emergencies
If you see smoke, flame, or a life-safety situation, call 911 and follow the instructions of local authorities. Do not rely on this app to alert first responders.
