Garbage burns in park

Flames shot high in the sky and black smoke filled the air of a park off Enterprise Way in Kelowna Thursday night, prompting a quick response from the Kelowna Fire Department.

A man driving by Enterprise Park just after 7 p.m. saw the flames from the road, pulled over, and called the fire department.

“It seemed to be in the entrance to the park in a pile of garbage,” the witness said. “It looked like a shopping cart or two, a bike and a whole bunch of garbage. It looked like a transient pile of sorts.”

No one was around when he came upon the fire.

Steve Wallick, platoon captain of the Kelowna Fire Department, said one fire truck responded to the blaze and quickly got it under control.

Wallick said there were no nearby buildings that were threatened.
