Okanagan Indian Band rescinds evacuation order for Newport Beach, Logan's Landing

On Sept 9, The Okanagan Indian Band rescinded an evacuation order for Newport Beach, Logan's Landing, and a property northwest of Westside Road following the Bradley Creek wildfire.
The Bradley Creek wildfire destroyed homes and livelihoods along Westside Road, prompting the OKIB to advise returning residents to use caution in affected areas.
Before entering properties, residents must check for structural damage, fallen power lines, and sharp debris, and must not enter any structure that appears unstable.
Even if homes were not directly damaged, smoke, soot, and ash may remain; residents should wear an N95 mask and use wet wiping to clean safely.
Residents should replace furnace and air conditioner filters, ensure refrigerated food is safe, and review the First Nations Health Authority Returning Home After a Wildfire information package for complete guidance.
