UPDATE 5 a.m. Aug. 21
Thirteen helicopters and more than 100 ground crew were in action against the Christie Mountain Wildfire Thursday.
Improved weather and smoke conditions allowed fixed-wing aircraft to get a better idea of the size and it was estimated at 2,000 hectares.
Expected winds of up to 60 km-h today have fire officials concerned as it could push the fire back towards Penticton.
