This is the best summary I could come up with:
If the power or data on your device is low, you can get wildfire updates on CBC Lite, our low-bandwidth, text-only website.
As West Kelowna Fire Chief, Brolund was out on the front lines, co-ordinating firefighters as they tried to fight the McDougall Creek wildfire ripping through parts of the city.
Wildfires are known for turning day into night with their heavy smoke, but in West Kelowna, the opposite happened as the fire illuminated the midnight sky.
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.
Brolund spoke to CBC's Daybreak South just after 6 a.m. on Friday, and around 10 a.m. he held a televised press conference.
Crews were able to protect critical buildings and infrastructure — a school, a new water treatment plant, the fire hall — but an unknown number of homes burned down.
