Emergency crews were called to a car fire at Clifton Rd. and Grainger Rd. in Kelowna Tuesday afternoon.

The fire started in the engine compartment of an Audi after it was parked in the garage.

The family was just getting ready to drive a young couple to the airport when they came outside and smelled something burning. Once they realized it was the vehicle they moved it out of the garage. 

The hood had already started to change colour before the sports car was backed up.

No one was hurt, but the car is a complete loss. The home also suffered smoke damage.
