The Kelowna Fire Department (KFD) responded to a fire at a home early this morning.

At about 12:45 a.m., they received a report of a fire in a bedroom of a home in the 800 block of Fuller Ave.

The first crew to arrive found a two-storey residence with smoke coming from an upstairs bedroom window. The owner had managed to extinguish the fire by the time the crew arrived.

The KFD say they ventilated the house and checked the room for fire extension. Emergency Social Services was offered to the owner but was refused as the house was still able to be lived in.

The fire was accidental in nature and no one was injured. KFD responded with four engines, one rescue vehicle, a command unit and a safety vehicle.

The KFD would like to remind the public that smoke detectors save lives. Make sure to check your detector’s batteries on a regular basis.
