An iconic sign on Highway 97 North and Commonwealth Road went up in flames early Thursday morning, April 1.

Kelowna Fire Department said crews received a report at approximately 1:30 a.m. that the large boat, a sign for Holiday Park RV and Condo Resort, was on fire.

Lake Country Fire Department arrived at the scene first, reporting that the boat was already fully engulfed in flames.

Crews used hose lines to help suppress the fire.

Kelowna Fire Department platoon captain Shayne Kiehlbauch said there were no hydrants in the area, so water had to be shuttled to the scene with water tenders.
