A wildfire has sparked a response from fire crews in Peachland, British Columbia, located just north of Hardy Falls Regional Park. The blaze, which is currently estimated to cover approximately 0.75 hectares, prompted the local government to activate the Emergency Operations Centre.

According to the BC Wildfire Service, fire crews are working diligently to control the situation. In conjunction with the wildfire, Highway 97 is closed in both directions, affecting travel between Hardy Street and Renfrew Road. The closure was initially reported at around 22:40 local time due to a vehicle fire, but the wildfire has escalated concerns in the area.

As local authorities monitor the fire’s progression, they are urging residents and visitors to stay informed about the situation. The activation of the Emergency Operations Centre indicates the seriousness of the wildfire and the need for organized management of resources and information dissemination.

The community is advised to heed warnings and avoid non-essential travel in the affected regions. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available, with the safety of residents and response teams being the top priority.
