Currently the fire is over 15 hectares in size in the Glenrosa area. It is believed three houses have been affected by the fire and a further 12 may be threatened.
The entire West Kelowna Fire Department is attacking the blaze. BC Forestry has engaged six helicopters, 25 ground personnel, two water trucks and four water bomber aircraft . Mutual aid has been requested from Peachland and Kelowna Fire Departments.

Lived in this part of West Kelowna (Glenrosa) in 2001-2002. Lived through the 2003 fire too. Seems like this is inevitable when you build houses amongst forest, especially the dry forest of the Okanagan.
