The Glen Lake wildfire in Peachland has shown no growth in the last 24 hours.
Fire crews and helicopter bucketing efforts remain at the scene as they continue to battle the blaze.
On Friday, most bucketing is taking place towards Eneas Lakes Park. Fire crews are also using direct attack methods from the Munro at the southwest flank. Heavy machinery is also in the area establishing a machine guard south flank, also around Eneas Lakes Park.
