More tent fires at Kelowna’s homeless encampment feared as temperature drops
Webster-Kotak is among those in the social service sector expressing concern for those sleeping outside, especially now as the weather gets cold.
“A city employee with a pressure-washer truck also happened to be going by at the same time. And he stopped to help suppress that fire.”David Courtoreille and his partner Teresa Schreckenberg are among the roughly 120 people who sleep at the outdoor camp.“We could see the smoke, we could smell the smoke,” said Courtoreille.
“It can be very dangerous, with the amount of tents set up in the temporary outdoor sheltering,” said Cronquist. “It could start a tent-to-tent fire.”Cronquist said the fire department is trying to educate tent dwellers on the dangers of heating devices.
