The occupants of a Kelowna duplex will have to find another place to reside after fire forced them from their home early Thursday morning.
The fire was reported shortly before 4 a.m. in the 1500 block of Gordon Drive where some wooden pallets were found burning behind a business.

No pets were involved.
The fire is considered suspicious.
