Mobile home fire scars couple

-

Two people suffered burns and smoke inhalation, but escaped with their lives when a mobile home caught fire Friday.

West Kelowna Fire Rescue was called to 1880 Old Boucherie Rd. about 10 p.m. Firefighte­rs were able to extinguish the blaze quickly. The occupants were taken to hospital.

The cause was undetermin­ed at the time.

Kelowna firefighte­rs, meanwhile, had a busy Sunday night.

At 6 p.m., they were called to a shipping container fire on Lougheed Road. The contents of the container were destroyed, but firefighte­rs were able to prevent the fire from spreading to other structures. The fire has been deemed accidental.

At 7:40 p.m., a pickup parked on Devonshire Avenue in the Capri area was engulfed in flames when firefighte­rs arrived. The cause of the blaze is considered suspicious.

About the same time, a shed in the backyard of a property on nearby Belaire Avenue caught fire. The shed and materials nearby were destroyed. That fire is also considered suspicious.
