The Kelowna Fire Department received a 911 call reporting a fire on a deck of an apartment in Sopa Tower on Pandosy Street around 10:45 p.m. Monday.
The first arriving crew reported flames on a deck of the fourth floor.
“A handline was deployed to darken the fire and give an ariel device time to set up. An interior attack crew was sent to gain access to the suite involved,” Tim Light, platoon captain, said.
The fire was confined to the deck but there was some water and smoke damage to the suite.
The cause is under investigation but initial findings do not point to any suspicious circumstances involved.
The occupants of the suite will be out of the suite for the evening but have chosen to find their own accommodations.
