A late-night, suspicious fire destroyed a home in Kelowna.

Kelowna Fire Department said crews responded to a report of dark grey smoke coming from a home in the 800 Block of Harman Rd. just before midnight on the night of Thursday, Aug. 29.

Crews arrived on the scene where they found flames coming from a single family residence, and the situation was upgraded to a third alarm fire.

As there were no hydrants nearby, crews used water tenders to tackle the fire and protect a nearby residence, which suffered minor damage.

However, the subject home was fully destroyed, and several vehicles and other outbuildings on the property suffered damage ranging from minor to severe.
