In the summer of 1994
the Garnet Fire
engulfed the eastern hillsides of Penticton. The fire spread rapidly and
damaged or destroyed a number of homes. It is an excellent reminder that
wildfires do occur in the wildland/urban interface areas of the Okanagan
Valley. Residents, communities, fire services and governments work together
to minimize the risks of wildfires.
