There’s some encouraging news in the latest update on the Bald Range Wildfire.

Some areas of Summerland and Electoral Area “F” have now been downgraded from an Evacuation Order to an Evacuation Alert, allowing some residents to begin returning home where it is safe to do so.

We know this has been an incredibly difficult time for many families and our community. While there is still work to be done, this is a positive step forward.

The RDOS has also opened a Recovery Centre in Summerland to help residents access information, resources and support.

Please continue to check the official updates before returning to an affected area and stay safe.

Good morning,

Davie & Associates is a Penticton litigation law firm that has been part of the community since 2001.

Like everyone in the South Okanagan, we have been deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the Bald Range wildfire and the impact it has had on local families and businesses.

As people begin the difficult process of rebuilding, many will also have questions about their insurance coverage and what their policies provide. Dealing with an insurance claim can be confusing and stressful at the best of times, and we want to do what we can to help our neighbours through this process.

Accordingly, Davie & Associates will provide a free initial consultation to anyone affected by the Bald Range wildfire who has questions or concerns about an insurance claim arising from the fire.

There is no obligation to retain us. Our hope is simply to provide people with some guidance about their rights and options at a particularly difficult time. Where we can help, we will.

Anyone who would like to speak with us can contact Davie & Associates through our website at: https://www.davielaw.com/contact-us/

Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by the wildfire, and we wish the community a safe and successful recovery.

Davie & Associates
Penticton, BC

We welcome you to request a FREE consultation with our experienced and trusted lawyers. We look forward to learning about your case!
