KFR crews, alongside BC Wildfire Service, made a quick stop at yesterday’s wildfire between Dallas Drive and Barnhartvale Road.
The fire is now classified as under control, but it was caused by human activity—another important reminder that wildfire risk remains extremely high across much of the Thompson-Okanagan, with danger ratings at High or Extreme.
Please remain vigilant. Follow all fire restrictions, dispose of smoking materials responsibly, avoid activities that could create sparks, and report any signs of smoke or fire immediately. Together, we can help prevent the next wildfire.
