The fire was on Concorde Road, in the West Kelowna, B.C., suburb of Lakeview Heights and started with the cedar hedge, a 10-foot by 30-foot outbuilding and an RV trailer.

“They were still on the scene later in the morning, working with an excavator gaining access to the hidden fires under the shed roof structure.”
