One person deceased following fire in Kelowna apartment
One person died in a fire at an apartment building in Kelowna Friday.
The Kelowna Fire Department said crews were dispatched to an apartment building in the 700 block of Bernard Avenue just after 5 p.m., July 12, where smoke and flames were visible in a second storey window.
Firefighters knocked down the fire and contained it to the suite, though the fire department said there were some challenges so a crew remained on scene overnight to ensure the fire was fully extinguished and there were no hotspots.
Kelowna RCMP said a 42-year-old woman lost her life in the blaze, and that the General Investigative Support Team has taken over the case.
