Large, visible flames above Peachland are causing concern – but according to fire officials, there's nothing to be worried about.

An official at the fire dispatch centre said the BC Forestry Service has been conducting controlled burns in the area of Munro Lake since this afternoon.

As night has fallen, local fire departments have been inundated with calls now that the fire is visible.

However, it's a controlled burn and the BC Forestry Service has personnel and machinery on site to keep it that way.
