Fire at home under renovation

Fire crews responded to a blaze at a home under renovation on Belgo Road in Kelowna Wednesday night.

The first firefighters on the scene reported heavy brown smoke coming out of the eaves of the home on all sides.

The home owner stated the house was under renovation and that there was nothing, and no one, inside.

“The structure was showing that the roof system was failing so a decision was made to not have firefighters enter the structure and made a defensive attack strategy from the exterior,” fire captain Corrie Lang said.

There were no injuries and the department provided no information on the cause.
