British Columbia expected to declare state of emergency as homes near West Kelowna destroyed by fast-moving wildfire

British Columbia Premier David Eby is expected to declare a provincewide state of emergency. His office has scheduled a news conference for 6:15 p.m. PT Friday
The expected announcement comes after a significant number of homes were destroyed by a fast-burning, "unpredictable" wildfire in the West Kelowna area as crews fight through what the B.C. Wildfire Service has predicted will be the most challenging days of the provincial fire season due to gusting winds.
The extreme conditions in the area are not expected to let up over the next 36 hours, and fires across the province may see significant growth, provincial officials say. New evacuation orders and alerts were being announced for the area throughout the day.
More than 2,400 properties are under an evacuation order, and more than 4,800 properties are under an evacuation alert due to the encroaching McDougall Creek wildfire, which grew more than a hundredfold — from 64 hectares to 6,800 hectares (68 square kilometres) — in just 24 hours.
"It was a devastating night last night, probably the most challenging of my career," said West Kelowna Fire Chief Jason Brolund about the destructive fire. "We fought hard last night to protect our community.
"We fought 100 years worth of fires all in one night."
Brolund said some emergency responders were trapped because they had to rescue residents who chose not to leave their properties despite being under evacuation order.
"That's the fire chief's worst nightmare," he said.

Yes they are and as far as I know Jasper is a mess. It will take a lot of rebuilding and the park will never be the same.
A lot of dry lighting as started fires in BC and many areas under evacuation notice or evacuated.
There is big fire on Vancouver Island outside of the town of Sooke.
