Past Summer Conditions

The previous six summers saw no forest wildfire activity in our immediate area. Fernie can experience periodic smokey skies, primarily between late July and early September due to winds pushing smoke in from wildfires far away.

In BC, local community and regional governments lead the initial response to emergencies in communities.
