Un-Baa-Lievable: Lamb Fleeing Summerland Wildfire Rescued by Firefighters
The lamb was taken to Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team in Penticton and reunited with its owner the next day after firefighters rescued it.
- A lost lamb escaping the Bald Range wildfire in Summerland was rescued by a member of the Conservation Officer Service, riding in the truck's prisoner seat during the operation.
- The Conservation Officer Service handed the animal to the Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team in Penticton, where staff provided care and reunited the lamb with its owner the following day.
- Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team president Daryl Meyers said the organization is feeding and evacuating animals from over 400 properties in Summerland, continuing until residents return home.
- Farmer Chamkaur Saran was 12 hours away from harvesting when the explosive Bald Range wildfire broke out; after 32 years in business, Saran estimates 70 to 80 per cent of his crop is destroyed.
- Agricultural crops in the Okanagan have faced consecutive hits from a 2021 heat dome and a 2024 cold snap that closed the Tree Fruits Cooperative, leaving farmers like Saran seeking government support.
