Fire crews near Osoyoos say they are carefully watching wind levels and direction as the Eagle Bluff wildfire continues to burn out of control.
The Eagle Bluff wildfire is seen burning from Anarchist Mountain, outside of Osoyoos, B.C., in a Saturday, July 29, 2023, handout photo. Fire crews near Osoyoos, B.C., are watching wind levels and direction closely as the Eagle Bluff wildfire continues to burn out of control just kilometres away from the town on the U.S.-Canada border.
The BC Wildfire Service says that will help push the nearly nine-square-kilometre Eagle Bluff wildfire away from Osoyoos, less than two days after flames sparked in Washington state raced across the Canada/U.S. border on Saturday evening. The fight to protect Osoyoos comes as the wildfire danger rating has fallen sharply in recent weeks because of rain and cooler weather in most areas of B.C., except the southern and southeast corners.
