    More than 12,000 residents in the area are still under an evacuation order.

    One woman, aged 80, died while trying to flee from the wildfire, police said on Sunday.

    With dry lightning, high temperatures and winds in the forecast, officials warned on Monday that the fire continues to be a threat and that new ignitions are possible.

    The Okanagan area of British Columbia, known for its world renowned vineyards and picturesque scenery, has been grappling with extreme drought in recent years. As of July, the level of the Okanagan Lake was at its lowest since 1992, according to the Okanagan Basin Water Board.

    The Bald Range wildfire is one of more than 100 burning in British Columbia as of Monday – 70 of which started in the last week alone.

    The west coast province’s premier, David Eby, declared a state of emergency over the weekend, urging residents to heed evacuation orders and warning that the fires continue to move “incredibly quickly”.
