Multiple fire halls have rushed to the scene of a reported brush fire in West Kelowna.
The fire was reported just after 7 p.m. near Glencoe Road and Windt Road in the Powers Creek Canyon area.
Glencoe is blocked in both directions near the fire.
Fire crews are reportedly having a hard time accessing the fire as it is deep in the ravine, but it is not showing very aggressive fire behaviour.
The Capital News has a reporter on the way to the scene.
