Published slug: `official-bc-wildfire-ainslie-creek-road-check-august-15-2026`

## Bottom line

Official sources support a dated BCFires source card: BCWS posted an Ainslie Creek area restriction on August 14; EmergencyInfoBC exposed 33 wildfire/evacuation/action links; DriveBC/Open511 exposed 17 wildfire/fire/smoke road events, including 13 major rows.

This is not an evacuation order, alert, road detour, fire boundary, safe-return clearance or cause determination.
