BC wildfires: 50 structures confirmed lost to West Kelowna wildfire so far; 5 in Kelowna | FULL

At least 58 structures have been lost to the wildfires burning across three cities in the Central Okanagan, though the tally is not yet complete, officials said.

"I want to share some news that's going to cause many of you great relief but I also acknowledge that it's going to cause many of you some ongoing and increased anguish," West Kelowna fire chief Jason Brolund said during a Monday update, preparing listeners for the news that's been on people's minds since the fire broke out Thursday.

Canada Task Force 1 has told Brolund there were no structural losses in Smith Creek, Talus Ridge, Shannon Lake, and Rose Valley. Other West Kelowna neighbourhoods, however, did not fare so well and there have so far been approximately 50 structures lost.

Kelowna fire chief Travis Whiting said there were five structures in his city that he can confirm were lost. Lake Country fire chief Darren Lee said there were two to three properties lost in his city.

The worst of the fire was on Thursday and Friday.

In the last 24 hours the firefight took a change for the better. There have been no new evacuation orders issued and no more homes have been lost as calm, more humid weather lingers.
