Video shows widespread damage from Bradley Creek wildfire

A Realtor who surveyed the Westside Road area from Okanagan Lake the morning after the Bradley Creek wildfire says the scope of the destruction was stark.

Hank Prebushewski said few structures appeared to remain standing after the fire roared down toward the road near Vernon. The Okanagan Indian Band estimates that 30 band members lost their homes and 200 non-band homes were destroyed Saturday evening.

Prebushewski also recorded damage at Newport Beach Marina, where he said the dock had burned and a boat appeared to be sinking. He said another burned pontoon boat was seen partly submerged in the lake.

No injuries had been reported, according to the available information. Prebushewski said his family's Westside Road cabin was spared, but noted that some property owners along the route may be unable to obtain home insurance. He said many of the affected properties have belonged to local families for generations.
