PENTICTON, B.C. — The B.C. Wildfire Service says a fire burning south of Penticton, B.C. has seen “minimal” growth over the weekend, but it’s starting to spread southeast.
The Saturday evening update comes after fire officials expressed confidence earlier in the day that the Christie Mountain fire posed less of a threat to the city of Penticton.

The region also remains under an Environment Canada special weather statement warning of smoky skies caused by the fire.
