False alarm fire calls

Firefighters quickly responded to a call of visible flames inside a Kelowna home Wednesday evening.

The call came in about 4:30 p.m. when a caller reported "flames inside a home" near Alberta Court and O’Reilly Road.

But a dispatch update only minutes later said those flames were actually in a fireplace.

Minutes later a similar call came in from Lake Avenue, where firefighters said the owners started up their furnace for the first time this fall, and smoke was seen coming from the chimney.

Multiple firehalls in Kelowna responded to the calls and checked multiple homes in the area – but found no fire.
