Massive Wildfire North of Osoyoos, Canada

Fire Alert

Wildfire officials are battling a 20-hectare wildfire on Osoyoos Indian Band Land between Oliver and Osoyoos. 

Fire Information Officer Kayla Pepper says the fire started late Friday about 7 kilometres north of Osoyoos. 

“It is still an active wildfire. Right now crews are working on establishing guard on the south side of the fire,” Pepper said just before 1 p.m. on Saturday. “They’re trying to steer the fire towards some natural rocky features, so by pushing the fire up slope into those areas it won’t burn.” 

According to Pepper (as of 1 p.m. Saturday), 10 firefighters are battling the blaze. Investigators are also on scene as they attempt to determine the cause of the wildfire, as it is not part of a prescribed burn.

Pepper anticipates visible smoke in Oliver and Osoyoos throughout Saturday afternoon and perhaps into Sunday.
