House destroyed by fire

A home in Kelowna is a total loss after an overnight fire that is being treated as suspicious.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. Saturday, June 17, the Kelowna Regional Fire Dispatch Centre received multiple 911 calls reporting a large structure on fire in the 1900 block of McDougall St.

The first arriving officer reported a large single family residence fully involved and exposures on both sides of the structure.

“Fire crews were able to protect the exposed residences on both sides of the fire and used multiple master streams to suppress the fire,” Captain Scott Clarke said.

The residence was not occupied at the time of the fire, and it was a complete loss.

There were no injuries to residents or firefighters.

“This fire is deemed suspicious  and will be investigated by the Kelowna Fire Department,” Clarke stated.
