A fire in a home in West Kelowna, reportedly started by a candle in a bathroom, was quickly doused by firefighters last night.

West Kelowna Fire Rescue (WKFR) responded to the structure fire, located in the 3100 block of Vineyard View Way, just after 10 p.m.

Before fire crews arrived, the residents of the home had already evacuated.
