UPDATE: 10:29 p.m.

The Eagle Bluff wildfire, 10 km southeast of Okanagan Falls, is anticipated to grow beyond the current estimated 1500 hectares.

However, according to Fire Information Officer Nicole Bonnett the growth isn91裸聊视频檛 necessarily a bad thing.

91裸聊视频淭he fire is anticipated to move into areas that will make it more operational for our ground crews and heavy equipment,91裸聊视频 she said.

If conditions are favourable today, BC Wildfire crews will be conducting another small scale planned ignition on the wildfire from the southeast Mudd Lake area to the McKinney Road area, west of Manual Canyon.

Bonnett explained this planned ignition is a continuation from Wednesday91裸聊视频檚 successful controlled burn which will focus on securing the west flank.

Additional resources have been called in increasing personnel from 80 to more than 100. Structural protection teams have also been called to the area, many arriving with local city department fire trucks, as a small wind event is anticipated later today.

91裸聊视频淗aving the structure protection teams is just a precaution as the fire is burning to some nearby properties,91裸聊视频 said Bonnett.

Motorists travelling along Highway 97 should also expect delays from 7 km north of Oliver to 2 km south of Okanagan Falls, due to the wildfire.
