An early morning fire lit up the alleyway of Kelowna’s Roanoke Avenue Thursday but didn’t cause harm to neighbouring structures or area residents, firefighters say.
At approximately 1 a.m. Dec. 30, fire dispatch received a call reporting a shed on fire in the alley behind a residence in the 600 block of Roanoke Avenue.
The first arriving engine reported a 20-by-20-foot shed fully involved upon their arrival, platoon captain Tim Light said in a press release. Then three more engines and 15 firefighters worked on the blaze.

“An exterior attack was used until the shed could be de-energized at which time an interior attack was used to extinguish the fire,” Light said.
