It was a startling night for one Kelowna resident, who looked out of the window when he heard a car alarm going off and saw his neighbour’s vehicle going up in flames.
Keaton Hubner said he grabbed his keys and a fire extinguisher before sprinting down the stairs.
“I lose my shoes on the way, and I hop the fence and jump over, and I’m like two feet away from it, and I empty the extinguisher,” he said.
“And then I realized it wasn’t doing anything, and I backed off and then firefighters came up and continued to put it out.”
Emergency crews rushed to the 900-block of KLO road shortly before 9 p.m.
The red Ford Focus was fully engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived, Keaton said.
