“Investigators are deeming this fire suspicious in nature, a witness said that they saw someone in the area but crews did not locate anyone. If anyone has any information please contact RCMP.”
It was the second fire crews had to douse within a matter of hours, although the first was not considered suspicious. West Kelowna responded with 18 personnel from Westbank, Glenrosa, and Lakeview Heights fire halls.
