At least four water tankers are hitting the wildfire burning above Peachland and the Okanagan Connector.
According to the fire department minor fires were partially extinguished when the crew arrived at First United Church along 700 blocks on Bernard Avenue. Within a few days it grew into a firestorm. Local time a wildfire started via lightning strike near Rattlesnake Island in Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park British Columbia Canada.

Elchitz does warn that plans could change if the nearby fire forces a re-expansion of the no-fly zone. A wildfire sparked Sunday near West Kelowna BC now covers at least two square kilometres and has forced evacuations in a large neighbourhood within the City of West Kelowna.
