“Command reported flames going up the front of one unit in the middle of a 10 unit, 2 story townhouse complex,” says Kelowna fire department platoon captain, Eric Simpson. “Flames had made [their] the way up to the attic. The fire was quickly knocked down and only one unit was affected.”

The three people who live in the unit, two adults and a child, escaped safely but are now out of a home. They, along with their dog, are in the hands of Emergency Social Services.

The cause of the fire is still unknown.
