## Official-source findings

Forecast text for both locations: sunny and hazy today with southwest wind 20 km/h near noon, high 30 C and UV index 6/high; clear and hazy tonight; Wednesday sunny with local smoke, southwest wind 20 km/h gusting to 40 in the afternoon, high 33 C and UV index 7/high; Thursday sunny, high 36 C. No heat-warning object was returned in this pull.
- 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 N61411 (41.5 km, Under Control), N61319 (41.7 km, Out of Control, 10.4 ha), N61413 (45.3 km, Under Control), N61222 (50.3 km, Under Control), N61181 (52.2 km, Under Control), N61387 (52.8 km, Being Held), N61170 (55.2 km, Under Control), N61304 (55.7 km, Being Held), N51353 (58.8 km, Under Control), N51161 (59.9 km, Under Control, 4.6 ha), N61201 (67.8 km, Out of Control, 6.1 ha), N61030 (69.3 km, Being Held), N51228 (72.7 km, Under Control), N51246 (73.8 km, Under Control). None of the nearest checked entries were marked wildfire of note.
- Compared with August 3 raw pull: N61411 changed from Being Held to Under Control (41.5 km); N61319 stayed Out of Control but now shows 10.4 ha (41.7 km); N61413 changed from Out of Control to Under Control (45.3 km); N61387 changed from Out of Control to Being Held (52.8 km); N51353 changed from Being Held to Under Control (58.8 km); N61148 was no longer returned in the under-90 km set; N61385 was no longer returned in the under-90 km set; N51038 was no longer returned in the under-90 km set; N51164 was no longer returned in the under-90 km set. Treat absent map entries as map-feed/status changes unless confirmed by official incident notes.
- DriveBC road events: closest relevant item remains a planned Carson Road to Almond Gardens Road West closure starting August 13 through August 28; closest active Highway items were Rossland / Highway 3B work, Highway 22 Junction West to Highway 3 Junction West work, and Osoyoos / Nighthawk Road work. 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.
- Council/eSCRIBE: latest saved council-monitor pull at `research/greenwood-council-record-monitor/latest.json` shows August 10 regular council meeting at 7 p.m. with no agenda posted yet; July 13 regular meeting still had agenda documents and no minutes in that snapshot. Direct POST attempts to the eSCRIBE calendar endpoint returned server errors in this run, so the saved August 3 snapshot and public council-meetings page were used cautiously.
- Southeast Fire Centre restrictions page returned 200 and showed last updated August 2, 2026.
- RDKB pages returned Cloudflare 403 to automated HTTP checks.
- Facebook/community sources remained login-gated or public-access limited. 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 official wildfire-map feed changed materially, mostly toward improved statuses, while haze/local-smoke conditions remain current.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
