No one was hurt in a late-night blaze that tore through a Big White chalet outside of Kelowna.
According to Big White fire chief Chris Cormack, the flames started around 1:45 a.m. on Saturday at a home on Porcupine Drive.
Several posts on social media show the fire ripping through the property, nicknamed the 鈥淎-Frame鈥� or 鈥淭he Pharmacy.鈥�
Big White officials said the property was built in the 1970s and was under renovation. No one was living there.
Cormack said a few adjoining homes were damaged.
鈥淚t was a stubborn fire, probably took us over four hours to knock down,鈥� he said. 鈥淥ur priority arriving was to protect the side buildings. Really impressed with the crews in the adverse conditions.鈥�
The A-Frame picked up various eulogies online as the residence was both loved and avoided for its popularity.
The cause is still under investigation.
