# Ledge Daily Watch source note — July 31, 2026

Checked: July 31, 2026 6:34 a.m. PDT.

## Official-source findings

- DriveBC weather regional API: Grand Forks and Rock Creek warning fields were `None` in the current feed. Forecast text for both locations: widespread smoke today, southeast wind 20 km/h this afternoon, high 32 C, UV index 8 or very high; widespread smoke tonight; Saturday local smoke with 30 percent chance of late-afternoon showers, thunderstorm risk, southwest wind 30 km/h gusting to 60 near noon, high 30 C and UV index 8 or very high.
- DriveBC emergency-alert API: empty list.
- EmergencyInfoBC homepage: active wildfire emergency listings elsewhere in B.C.; no Greenwood, Midway, Grand Forks, Rock Creek, Christina Lake or Boundary match in the text pull.
- DriveBC / BC Wildfire API near Greenwood: closest under-90 km entries in this pull include N61067 (36.6 km, Under Control), N61319 (41.8 km, Out of Control), N61210 (43.0 km, Under Control), N61148 (45.1 km, Under Control), N61218 (45.6 km, Under Control), N61222 (50.3 km, Under Control), N61181 (52.2 km, Under Control), N51038 (52.4 km, Under Control), N61170 (55.2 km, Being Held), N61304 (55.7 km, Out of Control), N51161 (59.9 km, Out of Control, 4.6 ha), N51164 (60.5 km, Under Control). None of the nearest checked entries were marked wildfire of note.
- Compared with July 30 raw pull, N61179, N61216 and K51313 were no longer returned by the current wildfire map API. Treat this as a map-feed status change, not a standalone final incident report.
- DriveBC road events: closest relevant items were Rossland / Highway 3B work, Highway 22 Junction West to Highway 3 Junction West work, and Highway 3 Osoyoos/Nighthawk Road maintenance. The prior Highway 3 / Paulson item through July 30 was not in the nearest active set. No new Greenwood-local Highway 3 closure verified.
- City of Greenwood: Stage 2 water restrictions and all-open-burning prohibition remain posted. News/elections pages still show election notices; no newer official city-news item found above those items.
- RDKB pages returned Cloudflare 403 to automated HTTP checks.
- Facebook/community sources remained login-gated in browser checks. Treat as leads only unless readable public text plus official/named confirmation is available.

## Editorial handling

- Published as an official-source monitoring brief because the weather-warning state changed from active air-quality warning to no active warning object, smoke remains in the forecast, and wildfire map entries changed.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
