Smoke is back in the Okanagan

OKANAGAN - After a summer filled with smoke the beginning of fall brought clear skies until now because smoke has returned to the Okanagan.

Okanagan residents were treated to clear skies as a colder weather seemed to push out all of the smoke.

For the Okanagan, the Air Quality Health Index is at a 2 which is a low, according to Environment Canada.

 "There are no new fires in the Okanagan since K Mountain," says B.C. Wildfire Service Information Officer Rachel Witt. "There seems to be just general smoke over the west coast."
