West Kelowna’s fire chief says at least 50 local structures have been lost to the 110-square-kilometre McDougall Creek fire burning on both sides of British Columbia’s Lake Okanagan.

Jason Brolund says the damage assessment is not complete and the status of more structures is likely to be confirmed in the coming days.
