Quickly, the fire department upgraded the alarm assignment to four engines, a rescue unit, and a command unit. Fire crews ventilated the smoke and determined that the fire had been started on the exterior of the building, though it had extended into the building as well. Firefighters quickly put out the fire, and there were no injuries reported.

On Sunday, both RCMP and Kelowna fire investigators were on the scene to determine the cause of the early morning incident. The fire department also reminds residents to test their smoke alarms.
