Suspicious fire in Kelowna

Kelowna fire crews responded to a garage fire near Pandosy St. and Cadder Ave. Saturday night.

The first arriving crew reported they had located a double detached garage on fire in the alley behind the 2000 block of Pandosy St.

“The fire started on the exterior wall of the garage and had already spread up the wall to the soffit, causing structural damage to the wall and roof area,” said John Kelly, platoon captain.

The fire was quickly extinguished by the first arriving crew. Crews then entered the garage to complete extinguishment and overhaul.

Some of the contents in the garage were also consumed by the fire.

“The fire is deemed suspicious in nature and will be investigated by the Kelowna RCMP.,” said Kelly.
