South Okanagan Fire Status

Fire personable in the South Okanagan aggressively tackled flames on Saturday, as the weather provided more cloud cover and less wind than in recent days.

Noelle Kekula with the region’s complex incident team said that while some wildfires in the Okanagan stayed the same size overnight, others did grow slightly.

The number of properties under evacuation order or alert remains at nearly a thousand, as the fires continue to burn.

Kekula says the Mount Eneas fire, which spans about 13.7 square kilometres, is taking up a significant amount of resources to contain.
