BC Wildfire crews have made plenty of progress on the Mount Eneas wildfire south of Peachland.
Incident Commander Glen Burgess gave an update over the weekend.
"The Eneas fire has now been declared under control, which obviously shows that we've made a lot of progress over the last few days there. Still a lot of crews and resources out there, and we're continuing to mop up hotspots, and we're using a combination of ground control and aerial heat scanning to help focus the crews' energies," he said.
The fire is still estimated to have a perimeter of 1,793 hectares.
Meanwhile, the Goode's Creek fire in Okanagan Mountain Park continues to grow, and has increased to 1,370 hectares.
But Burgess says this growth is moving south.
"The Goode's Creek fire has seen substantial growth in the last few days, and I think it's important to recognize the growth is southward, and away from Kelowna," he said.
"Obviously a large increase in size, but within the park itself."
He says wildfire and parks officials will monitor the path of the fire to keep it away from any structures, and believe much of it will burn itself out.
However, the fire is also burning right down to the shore of Okanagan Lake.
Burgess is also reminding boaters that it's imperative to stay away from the popular spots nearby.
"Boaters are still trying to use them, despite the fire literally being right there. It began to interfere with our bucketing operations, where helicopters were dipping water to use as a suppression tool - the fire's literally right at the shoreline," he said.
"We needed to engage the RCMP to remind the public about the safety implications and the fact that they were now beginning to impede our ability to manage that."
He says the heat has also played a factor, as ground crews have dealt with base temperatures in the mid-30s for the better part of two weeks.
Burgess says they've been encouraging firefighters to jump in the lake to cool down, whenever they can get a break.
