A candle left unattended in a Black Mountain area home offered a less than soothing experience Thursday.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a bedroom of a single-family home located in 1400 block of Mine Hill Lane in Kelowna’s Black Mountain area, was called in to the dire department.
John Kelly, Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain, said that crews entered the home and discovered a small fire on the dresser in the front bedroom.
“The fire was quickly extinguished,” Kelly said, adding later, “Please remember to exercise caution when using candles and not leave them unattended.”
