A fire broke out Wednesday night at a Kelowna home being renovated.
The Kelowna Fire Department said when crews arrived on scene, along the 1200 block of Belgo Road around 9 p.m., heavy, brown smoke was coming out of the home’s eaves on all sides.
The homeowner told firefighters that the house was empty, with no one inside.
According to the fire department, the home’s roof system was failing, so a decision was made to battle the blaze from the exterior.
