Shed fire at 1310 Ponderosa Ct.

West Kelowna fire crews were called to a shed fire just after 9 p.m. Sunday night.

Witnesses reported seeing flames coming from a 'painter's shack' behind 1310 Ponderosa Court.

The flames could be seen from Highway 97 as the property backs onto Denny Court and Highway 97.

The small structure was fully engulfed by the time crews arrived, but firefighters had the fire out by 9:30 p.m.

No one appeared home at the time. Neighbours say the owner kept painting materials in the shed.

RCMP and the fire department are investigating.
