A house fire on Harvey Avenue, Saturday evening, has been deemed suspicious.
Three fire engines and 16 personnel rushed to the 800 block just before 6 p.m., where crews found the home’s front porch engulfed fully in flames, the Kelowna Fire Department said.
The residents were evacuating when crews arrived.
The fire was quickly quenched.
“Witness statements lead to this fire being suspicious in nature,” said the fire department. “The RCMP and fire investigators will be investigating.”
