Amid the nearly 1,500 wildfires that British Columbia has seen so far this summer, one of the regions most affected has been the Kamloops Fire Centre region in B.C.’s southern Interior, which encompasses the Okanagan. Local residents shared their experiences of devastation and evacuation as around 270 of the fires remain actively burning.
