Firefighters have begun easing wildfire evacuation orders as rain, cooler temperatures, and favorable winds hit the Northwest Territories of Canada.
Officials in southern British Columbia were optimistic about the battle against wildfires that raged for days in the Okanagan Valley in threatening towns in the Kelowna area, a summer destination about 90 miles north of the U.S. border.
Brolund estimated the fire destroyed fewer than 70 structures in West Kelowna and fewer than 20 on Westbank First Nation lands. To date there have been no reports of loss of life or missing people.
