Charred debris and still-smouldering fires are all that remain along the shores of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia's Interior.
Okanagan Indian Band Chief Dan Wilson said Tuesday that 30 homes of band members and 200 non-band homes have been destroyed in the wildfire, which started late Friday and prompted the issuing of evacuation orders Saturday.
The BC Wildfire Service said the province had about 120 active wildfires as of Tuesday, with roughly 50 of them burning out of control. Footage courtesy of The Canadian Press. #wildfires #okanagan #britishcolumbia
