A small fire Wednesday morning temporarily disrupted operations at a Kelowna metal fabricating business.

The fire started in a waste collection unit on the outside of the A. J. Forsyth premises forcing employees to evacuate.

Flames scorched the metal wall of the building but didn’t get inside.

Workers used a water hose to keep the fire from spreading into dry grasses along Grigg Road before the fire department arrived.

There was a similar fire at the manufacturing plant in October 2015.
