Evacuation orders in the Central Okanagan region of British Columbia continue to be rescinded as more residents are allowed to return home.
The Central Okanagan Emergency Operations Centre says it has lifted a number of evacuation orders throughout communities in West Kelowna, Westbank First Nation and District of Lake Country.
Emergency workers are also again warning boaters to stay off Okanagan Lake in the section between the W. R. Bennett Bridge and Fintry Provincial Park to accommodate firefighting aircraft that may make use of the water in the fight against wildfires. Cooler and wetter weather earlier this week — including heavy rainfalls in parts of the Okanagan and Shuswap regions — helped firefighters turn the tide on a number of major blazes in the region.
