Firefighters arrived at Pandosy’s Sopa Tower around 10:45 p.m. Monday to find flames on a deck of the fourth floor.

Eighteen firefighters, along with three engines, two ladders and a rescue truck, quickly doused a fire that was contained to the deck only.

“The fire will be investigated tomorrow but initial findings do not point to any suspicious circumstances,” said Tim Light, a Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain.

The apartment did sustain some water and smoke damage but no one was hurt in the fire.
