Wildfire context for BC Highway 33 – Kelowna to Rock Creek

Highway 33 climbs quickly from the Okanagan into dry forest, plateau terrain, recreation areas, rural properties, forestry roads, and small settlements before reaching Boundary Country. Fire conditions can differ sharply between the Kelowna interface, higher forested sections, and the southern corridor, while alternate routes may involve long detours.
