It was an early start to Sunday for the Kelowna Fire Department, as crews were called to a house fire at 6:30 a.m.
And when firefighters arrived at the 3100 block of Shetland Road, they found smoke and flames showing from the rear of the three-storey residence.
The fire department said the two-alarm blaze had extended into the second floor and roof, but noted that all residents had safely exited the home.
“Crews knocked down the main body of the fire quickly and then worked to complete extinguishment of hot spots throughout the roof system,” said the fire department.
The fire isn’t deemed suspicious, but it’s under investigation.
