'At least 50 buildings lost to wildfire in West Kelowna' : B.C. officials

The West Kelowna fire chief says at least 50 structures have been destroyed by the McDougal Creek fire on both sides of Okanagan Lake.

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

Officials, however, have said that the crew has made good progress in the last few days and no casualties have been reported in the last 24 hours.

The fire is still spreading in about 11,000 hectares.

Evacuation orders and alerts continue for various communities in Kelowna and West Kelowna.
