Officials say the threat has eased through much of the Mount Law wildfire with milder weather, but the West Kelowna blaze is still uncontained in areas.
The BC Wildfire Service says the fire remains at 800 hectares and out of control.
“BCWS states that with cold temperatures, high humidity and some precipitation, the fire has slowly spread down slope in the south towards the guard above Highway 97C,” said a news release from the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Crews will be conducting very small, planned hand ignitions to burn small pockets of fuel between the fire and the guard around all areas of the fire. While the threat has eased through much of the fire with mild weather conditions, it is still uncontained in areas and crews are working for containment during this period of mild weather.”
“The Mount Law Wildfire remains active and West Kelowna and Peachland Fire Rescue crews are working alongside BC Wildfire to continue to support fire suppression efforts,” said Jason Brolund, Fire Chief of West Kelowna Fire Rescue. “We would like to thank the public for reporting flare ups and any further risks to structures.”
