Saturday 7 p.m.
Due to a nearby wildfire, residents in the La Casa area (including La Casa Lakeside Resort and La Casa Cottages) on the northwest side of Okanagan Lake are on Evacuation Alert.
BC Wildfire Service said they were responding with ground and aerial resources alongside North Westside Fire Department. Skimmers and helicopters are actioning the blaze using the Okanagan Lake water access.
Boaters should vacate the area where skimmers and helicopters are operating to ensure public and responder safety and to mitigate interference to suppression operations. Crews are currently observing Rank 2 and 3 fire behaviour, meaning a surface fire with open flame and a slow to moderate rate of spread.
