PHOTOS: More dramatic photos of the Okanagan wildfires

The Okanagan has turned into the Smoke-anagan.

There are a number of wildfires burning in the region, including a few noteworthy fires. The BC Wildfire Service has been busy since Tuesday night after widespread lightning sparked multiple fires across the province, especially in the Okanagan and Similkameen.
