Fire starts on deck and moves into home

West Kelowna Fire Rescue (WKFR) responded to a single family structure fire overnight in the 2600 block of Boucherie Road.

First arriving crews found heavy fire involvement on the upper sundeck that quickly extended into the deck roof, attic space, and main living area.

“Crews did an excellent job knocking the fire down with large diameter hand lines prior to making entry into the structure to complete a primary search and conduct fire control operations,” assistant fire chief Chad Gartrell said.

The family was at home at the time of the fire and all residents and pets made it out safely.

WKFR’s fire investigator was on scene, due to the extent of damage the fire cause is undetermined and not deemed suspicious in nature.
