An evacuation order is over as residents in or near Summerland return home - many to find their houses damaged or destroyed by the Bald Range wildfire. According to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, nearly 150 structures were hit as the fast moving wildfire swept through the area early this month. The wildfire is still burning and those who have returned are still on evacuation alert. Highway 97 is now open in both directions, 24 hours a day.
