Vehicle fire spreads to structure

No one was injured after a vehicle fire spread to a structure in West Kelowna this morning.

Shortly after 1 a.m., crews from West Kelowna Fire Rescue responded to a fully-engulfed pickup truck extending into a garage on Gellatly Road.

Fire Chief Jason Brolund said with help from crews from the Lakeview, Glenrosa and Rose Valley stations, the fire was knocked down quickly.

“Crews contended with multiple compressed gas cylinders and power lines present in the area of the fire. The homes nearby were protected from any damage,” Brolund said.

UPDATE: Brolund said the fire appears to have originated in a vehicle parked on the driveway in close proximity to the garage.

“There were not any sources of heat or ignition found in the area of origin of the fire. Therefore, the cause of the fire is undetermined. The file has been passed to the RCMP to continue any further investigative avenues,” Brolund said.
