Fire department is watching fire in this area but its out of their district so another one for Forestry. They do report seeing flames.

Re: Peachland - South Brent Road Area
Why is it we don’t take these fires seriously until the wind picks up and it gets out of hand, have we not learnt yet?

Re: Peachland - South Brent Road Area
I love how they state "detour via..." like it's nothing
No detour West Kelowna to Summerland via Hwy 97 is 38 minutes 38.8 kms
Detour West Kelowna to Summerland via Hwy 33 is 3 hrs 28 min 270 kms
Detour West Kelowna to Summerland via Hwy 5A/Aspen Grove/Princeton is 3 hrs 7 min 281 kms
That's not a "detour" that's a Sunday drive !
Gee, does anyone think that we need a reliable alternate route North and South ??
