From Global News.

Emergency officials said they were conducting “tactical evacuations” of about 400 properties north of Peachland, B.C. due to an out-of-control wildfire on Wednesday evening.

The fire, burning between Peachland and West Kelowna at Drought Hill, is currently estimated at 12 hectares in size, and has also forced significant closures to Highway 97 and Highway 97-C.

The Central Okanagan Regional District has activated its emergency operations centre, and says municipal and BC Wildfire Service firefighters are responding.
