A wildfire moving down the mountain toward Wilson’s Landing, B.C., made an “unearthly” howling sound as it stirred up winds to become a “self-feeding beast,” said the fire chief of the community on the western shore of Okanagan Lake.
Paul Zydowicz said his team had been monitoring the blaze and helping residents of nearby Traders Cove reduce fire risks around their homes, but once the flames crested the mountain and began burning downslope, they knew it was a “done deal.”
