Local authorities in British Columbia’s Okanagan region say all evacuation orders around the so-called Keremeos Creek wildfire near Penticton have been rescinded.

Erick Thompson, an information officer for the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, says this means residents from the last 25 households still displaced by the fire have received the go-ahead to return home.
