West Kelowna garage up in flames

West Kelowna fire officials are in the process of trying to determine why a garage attached to a home on Gregory Road went up in flames Friday morning. "Basically when we arrived it hadn't broken through the roof yet, but there was lots of heavy smoke coming out of all the eaves," says Klonteig. "Crews gained entry (to the garage).

Assistant Fire Chief, Kerry Klonteig, says they were alerted to heavy smoke and flame coming from the garage area of the home. It originated in the back side of the house, flames went up the exterior of the building then got into the eaves and the attic area.

The fire also got into the eaves in the front of the house.
