Over a hundred structures in the Okanagan-Similkameen region have been damaged or destroyed by the ongoing Bald Range wildfire. This destructive blaze, which began 11 days ago, has now grown to a massive 21,391 hectares and remains under control. Among the destroyed properties, 40 are located within the Summerland district. Firefighters are currently concentrating their efforts on the wildfire's northwestern flank, where the flames are spreading the fastest.
As of Tuesday, most evacuees from Summerland were informed that their evacuation order would be reduced to an evacuation alert, excluding some areas including parts of Cartwright Avenue and Haddrell Avenue. However, these locations remain under evacuation order. All other affected properties have been cleared from the evacuation alert.
