Study of 2023 Okanagan wildfires recommends limiting development in high-risk areas.

The fires set more than 300 buildings ablaze, forced more than 30,000 people to flee and caused about $480 million in insured losses.

Embers and not direct contact with advancing flames were “almost exclusively” responsible for helping wildfires move into neighbourhoods.
