Other than the fires burning in Okanagan Mountain Park, BC Wildfire Service doesn香蕉视频直播檛 expect further growth on any wildfires in the area, said Glen Burgess, incident commander with BC Wildfire Service in a press conference Thursday.
The photo posted below is of the Mount Conkle today, showing ground crews burning small pockets of unburnt fuels. This is done in order to prevent these fuels from burning in an uncontrolled fashion in the future. Success was seen on the line today as a result.

Noelle Kekula, fire information officer, said wildfire crews found a piece of unburned fuel. As the Mount Eneas wildfire burned through fields, it left behind patches of fuel that have potential to rekindle, she said.
The Goode Creek fire in Okanagan Mountain Park, which is one of three fires burning in the park, has not grown in size.
Mount Eneas remains at 1,793 hectares.
