West Kelowna firefighters were forced to use portable tanks to douse a fire a the base of Glen Canyon Park today.
The fire was reported in the tinder dry forest about 4 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.
Thirteen firefighters were called to the fire which burned a couple of stumps, some grass and brush in the vicinity.
The fire grew to about 100 feet by 100 feet before it was finally doused. It erupted in an area at the bottom of the canyon where ceremonies were held Tuesday marking the 50th anniversary of the death of RCMP Const. Neil Bruce.
Firefighters used water from Powers Creek to fill their tanks and put the fire out.
The area is popular for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
