ORIGINAL: 1:25 p.m
A fire has quickly spread through Mardan Lumber Sales on Highway 97 in the Spallumcheen area.
The blaze broke out just before 1 p.m., but quickly grew due to winds in the area.
A witness at the scene said the fire had reached a sawdust pile and there are concerns of it jumping into nearby forested areas.
The Okanagan Indian Band Volunteer Fire Department is on scene, along with Emergency Health Services.
The BC Wildfire Service is aware of the blaze, but local fire crews on scene have not yet requested their help.
There are no reported injuries, and all of the yard’s employees appear to have gotten away safely.
More information will be updated as it becomes available.
