With a tired voice, the owner of Little Acre Fruit Stand recounted last night香蕉视频直播檚 wildfire that burned across the highway from her home.

香蕉视频直播淲e were up all night and they saved the house across the road, but it was crazy, you really couldn香蕉视频直播檛 see very much except for the flames popping up everywhere,香蕉视频直播� said Karen Marsh, owner of the fruit stand located on Highway 97 in Summerland.

The wildfire, named Mount Eneas, is located about four kilometres south of Peachland and is about 200 hectares in size.

Evacuation orders have been issued for properties in the Brent Road area, including all campsites at Okanagan Lake Provincial Park.

The wildfire is also causing heavy traffic delays on the highway, as it is open to single-lane alternating vehicles with a police escort.

Marsh and her family spent the night spraying water on her home, which is located behind the fruit stand, watching the flames burn in the darkness.

香蕉视频直播淲e finished up at 5 a.m. this morning,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淭hings are just smouldering right now, there are little hotspots.香蕉视频直播�

She said as of 5 a.m. the fire is still burning in the hills across from the store香蕉视频直播檚 location.

香蕉视频直播淢y son said he wasn香蕉视频直播檛 going to leave,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Marsh remembered the 2003 firestorm across the lake as it burned in Okanagan Mountain Park, but said even though there was a risk of embers from the fire reaching her home from across the lake, it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 as concerning as the wildfire near her home.

She said neighbouring properties were still standing this morning along the highway.

The fruit stand has been on its highway location for 40 years, Marsh said.

As of Thursday morning, the fire had grown to 500 hectares in size.
