Where to find current fire information for northern BC?

Toll and free roads reportedly closed between Ens and TJ - road open to Tecate. Is anyone aware of a website keeping tabs on what is open or closed and where?

Welcome! I love the handle!!! With the winds being what they are it would be mostly impossible to stay up with.

You can use this link to see where fires are burning in "near real-time" (a few hours delay, satellite pass + 3 hours). Click on "Today", zoom in or out.

Looks like it's up on the mesa east of Campo Lopez.

That is a very interesting link
Wondering about the major indicated activity on the hills just east and above Ensenada.
Is there fire above the city right now??

Facebook Ensenada Expats is what I read for up-to-date about fires, water problems, etc. in the Ensenada area.
