February 15, 2021 - 6:00 AM As developers keep pushing plans to lift Kelowna’s skyline higher – the latest being 46 storeys – firefighters aren’t worried about their ability to battle any blaze that may break out within those towers. In fact, it’s the older four-storey wood framed apartments that give them their greatest worry. “We have a concern if there is a fire in any building,” Kelowna fire prevention officer Paul Johnson told iNFOnews.ca. “But highrise buildings are engineered with many life saving features, such as stand pipes, sprinklers, fire alarms and smoke control measures. With that, and mirrored with the fact that it’s concrete and steel, the hazards, I think are greatly reduced.”
