The Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre thanks local residents, BC Wildfire Service, neighbouring fire departments, RCMP, BC Hydro and provincial agencies for their quick response and support.

As firefighters continue to monitor and address hot spots, residents should expect to see some residual smoke from the wildfire, as well as the regular movement of fire equipment.

Residents who see fire activity outside expected areas should call *5555 to report a wildfire and 911 to report a fire within city limits.
