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.

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.
