Firefighters put out a fire in a motor home in West Kelowna overnight.
Deputy Fire Chief Brent Watson says the West Kelowna Fire Department responded to a building fire at Berkley Estates Mobile Home Park on Highway 97 South shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday.
The first units arriving found that the house’s detached garage had caught fire completely, with the flames reaching into the adjoining house.
The emergency services put out the fire and confirmed that the sole occupant had left the house safely.
There were no injuries, but both the detached garage and the house were severely damaged.
The resident is insured and looked after by the emergency service.
RCMP, BC Ambulance Paramedics, Fortis BC, BC Hydro also responded to the incident.
The park maintenance manager also helped on-site, and local residents said a neighbor used his garden hose on the fire until the fire department arrived while another was collecting the owner’s dog.
