Episode Details

An elderly woman is confirmed dead and more than 20,000 people remain on evacuation order as the massive Bald Range wildfire continues to burn in the Okanagan. The wildfire on the west side of Okanagan Lake, just north of Penticton, is about 140 square kilometres forcing residents to leave their homes in Summerland, Peachland and several small communities. The fire exploded in size after breaking out late Friday afternoon. Over the weekend, Premier David Eby declared a province wide state of emergency due to wildfires. Hundreds of homes have already been destroyed in B.C. this summer.
