Aggressive fire behaviour at the White Rock Lake wildfire between Vernon and Kamloops is putting up massive plumes of smoke over the region.

Darren Hatchard captured a video of the fire from altitude while flying into Kelowna from Prince George on a commercial flight at about 5 p.m. on Friday.

The airport was closed earlier this week due to the White Rock Lake fire, but new flight paths were found and air traffic was restored.
