In the past 24 hours, two grass fires have sparked as a result of unattended campfires in Kelowna, and now West Kelowna.

Early Saturday (March 13) morning, West Kelowna Fire Rescue responded to reports of a grass fire near Barona Beach Resort.

Crews responded to the call just after 1 a.m., finding a 30 feet by 30 feet rank-one fire burning at the base of the Mt. Boucherie bluffs in Mission Ridge Park. The fire was quickly and easily extinguished, with no issues.

West Kelowna Fire Rescue assistant chief Brent Watson explained crews found a backpack with food items, a bicycle and some shoes next to the burned area.
