The Keremeos Creek wildfire, spotted on Friday, July 29, is already an estimated 100 hectares in size. The smoke from the Keremeos Creek wildfire is visible from Penticton, 21 kilometres away. Deemed an aggressive fire, an evacuation order of more than 20 homes was issued Friday night and remains in effect with more resources on the way, according to the BC Wildfire Service.
According to BCWS, the fire is unable to be reached by either heavy machinery or air tankers because of the terrain making it inoperable. The wildfire was first reported in the afternoon, with BC Wildfire Service crews on the fire for several hours by 7:30 p.m., according to fire information officer Aydan Coray.
