With thick smoke from the McDougall Creek wildfire choking the Central Okanagan, West Kelowna fire chief Jason Brolund said Saturday he had no clear date for when evacuees would be allowed to return home.

"The answer is that we don't know," Brolund said during a press conference on Saturday afternoon.There are currently a dozen evacuation orders in the West Kelowna area, affecting approximately 4,500 properties.

Brolund said he doesn't know how many homes have been lost but said they'll start counting when they stop fighting the fires. "We are working hard to get these fires out so you can go home as quickly as possible," he said.

Brolund said the fires were threatening hundreds of homes and that they were expanding northwards.
