We are aware of a wildfire approximately 18 kilometres south of Osoyoos located on the south side of the US-Canada border. At this time, we are supporting with airtanker resources and are in communication with our partners in the U.S.
Smoke from this wildfire is highly visible to communities in the south Okanagan.

It was a little strange driving to Oliver late this afternoon - it looked like a back lit band of showers running up the valley. It turned out to be smoke. A very distinctive wood smoke.
