The skies have cleared and, as promised, the sight of charred hillsides and the homes destroyed in Central Okanagan wildfires is now in plain view, turning attention to recovery rather than firefighting.

"This is a devastating loss for many and certainly our hearts go out to all those who have lost homes or had property damaged," Doug Gilchrist, EOC director said during what's expected to be the last live update for the Grouse Complex of wildfires.

"I certainly recognize from our flight around the area yesterday that it could have been much, much worse."

Gilchrist said that it's expected that a number of evacuation orders across the region should be downgraded later in the day, though he didn't offer any insight into what that may be.

He did say that those who have lost homes will have to go online to learn more about what they face. They have not been reached out to individually.
