The Kelowna airport terminal was briefly evacuated Saturday morning after a fire alarm went off.
However, there was no fire.
Phillip Elchitz, senior airport operations manager, said a sprinkler system pipe on the exterior of the building started to leak, setting off the fire alarm.
“That caused the system to go into full alarm, which is how it’s designed,” said Elchitz. “We followed protocols and evacuated the facility until we were able to assess the alarm. There was no fire and we are in the process of resuming operations.”
