FRIDAY UPDATE: West Kelowna blaze partially contained by firefighters
Emergency officials in the Central Okanagan say despite the rapid
spread of the Smith Creek fire outside West Kelowna yesterday, it was
relatively quiet overnight.
More than 2,500 residents from 1,100 homes spent the night elsewhere after the West Kelowna Fire Chief expanded an evacuation order issued earlier in the day again Thursday night.
Another 150 homes along and near Lenz Road, including the Pinewood
Villa Mobile Home Park and from 1898 to 2515 Bartley Road, were put on
evacuation alert at around 8:30 p.m. PT. Residents there were told to be prepared to leave their home at a moment's notice. more
