Over 200 properties within the Osoyoos Indian Band have been ordered to evacuate immediately due to the fast-moving new Inkaneep Creek wildfire that sparked Monday evening.
The First Nation and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen have declared a state of local emergency because of the now-700-hectare blaze, which broke out at approximately 4 p.m. near Inkameep Road, on the Osoyoos Indian Band Reserve between Oliver and Osoyoos, B.C.
Regional district officials said search and rescue crews were assisting RCMP with tactical evacuations for those in immediate risk, including at least half a dozen homes and a campground in the rural area.
