West Kelowna fire crews extinguish loading dock blaze – Okanagan | 24CA News
West Kelowna fireplace crews shortly doused a loading dock fireplace on Friday night.
The small blaze broke out simply earlier than 6 p.m., with West Kelowna Fire Rescue saying the report initially got here in as a truck on fireplace within the loading bay of London Drugs.
“(The) first arriving crews discovered that although there was no truck in the bay, a pile of debris in the bay was burning vigorously and reaching up the building’s exterior wall,” stated WKFR.
“Crews quickly extinguished the fire, preventing the fire from spreading into the store itself.”
West Kelowna Fire Rescue stated there have been no accidents and the shop was evacuated with out incident. The explanation for the hearth is beneath investigation.
Notably, on the identical time of the hearth, WKFR assisted BC Ambulance in rescuing an injured mountain biker within the Smith Creek path system.
