KELOWNA – A small hedge fire near Kelowna General Hospital early this morning was quickly doused by firefighters who ask again that people use some caution when discarding cigarettes.

Platoon Capt. Eric Simpson says firefighters were called around 3 a.m. to the 600 block of Christleton Ave where they found several shrubs on fire near buildings. They doused it before it spread to any structures or property.

Marshall may call West Kelowna home, but after 16 years in local news and 14 in the Okanagan, he knows better than to tell readers in other communities what is "news' to them. He relies on resident reporters to reflect their own community priorities and needs. As the newsroom leader, his job is making those reporters better, ensuring accuracy, fairness and meeting the highest standards of journalism.
