A 50-year-old recliner caught on fire at the Mill Creek Village retirement residence Friday afternoon (Aug. 20), but was quickly extinguished by Kelowna firefighters.
At around 12:00 p.m., the Kelowna Fire Department received reports of smoking coming from one of the units.
According to one of the firefighters on scene, an electrical malfunctioning caused the recliner to spark. Crews were able to contain the fire to the unit and no major injuries were reported.
