KELOWNA, B.C. – The Cooper’s grocery store on Highway 33 in Kelowna was evacuated Friday afternoon after acrid smoke descended from the ceiling.
While a roofing project at Plaza 33 was a potential source of the smoke, an investigation by the Kelowna Fire Department found a heating and cooling (HVAC) unit on the roof may be to blame.
