BC Fire Emergency Information & Resources

Due to the impact of the fires in our province, the BCLNA wants to ensure our members are supported through this difficult time. We are monitoring the situation closely to provide timely information and updates.

Our thoughts are with all those affected. If you see a wildfire, please report it to 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cell. For the fire information line, please dial 1-888-336-7378.

Resources

On August 19, 2023, Emergency Management BC declared a provincial state of emergency.

The Central Okanagan Emergency Operations website is your primary resource for updates and support, including an Interactive Fire Map, Emergency Support Services, and timely news.

Other organizations are also compiling resources and useful information for those, especially horticultural and agricultural operations, impacted by the fires:

The BC Government has also provided a detailed Wildfires Map to monitor the situation.

More resources will be linked as they become available.
