Fire near Kelowna leads to tactical evacuations, closes highway

August 10, 2025

An out-of-control fire outside of Kelowna with a listed size of 1.5 hectares as of 4 p.m. Sunday has led to tactical evacuations, but a local emergency group says some residents might be able to return home as early as tonight.

The so-called Daves Creek fire is currently burning 15 kilometres east of Kelowna near Highway 33, which officials have closed between Goudie Road and Cardinal Creek.
