Dry June could set the stage for bad wildfire season in the valley
Description
June 26, 2023
The Okanagan is about to begin what looks like a hot and very dry weather stretch. That, combined with an already unusually dry June is extremely concerning for the fire risk in our region. As Jayden Wasney reports, the public is once again being reminded to use extreme caution and report any sign of wildfires immediately.
