The first fire in the Black Mountain area was reported by the occupants saying they could smell smoke coming from the attic area.  It turned out to be an electrical problem in the attic and was quickly controlled before spreading to the rest of the house.

The second fire occurred in the Felix Road area which had flames showing from the upper unit of the duplex.  Our crews quickly extinguished the fire and contained the damage to the roof, deck, and kitchen area.  Water damage was minimized to the lower unit as salvage tarps were laid out to protect valuables.

No injuries were reported.]]> no_email@example.com (kelfire) http://www.kelownafirefighters.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11 Halloween Safety Tips http://www.kelownafirefighters.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10 Safe Kids Canada website which you may want to check out for more simple reminders to keep the little ones out of harms way.  Click on 'Read more' below for the Halloween tips.]]> no_email@example.com (kelfire) http://www.kelownafirefighters.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10 What do you store in your home? http://www.kelownafirefighters.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9
