A suspicious fire broke out in the hallway of an apartment building in the center of Kelowna during the night. Firefighters responded to the call at 1088 Sunset Drive at 1:15 p.m. on Saturday morning, after a small fire that had been set in a corridor on the second floor. The building was evacuated. “The fire was extinguished by a security guard who used a dry chemical fire extinguisher to put out the fire,” said Kelowna Fire Chief John Kelly. “There was no extension of the fire. It was limited to the area of origin with some small damage to a wall “. Firefighters evacuated the hallway and as soon as the smoke cleared, they allowed residents to return. “The fire is suspicious and will be investigated by the RCMP,” Kelly said.
