"The information session will take place Sunday July 31 at 6:00 p.m. at the Salvation Army Centre located at 1480 Sutherland Avenue," says Kelowna Fire Department Assistant Chief Thomas Doherty.

The reception centre will be reopened at 3:00 p.m. Sunday July 31 for those that have not registered yet.

Doherty says residents of the 50 units at 660 Lequime Road will be 'displaced for some time due to the heavy damage.'

The residents of 3 neighbouring buildings have been allowed to return home.

"Fire fighters were able to contain the fire to the fourth floor, however smoke and water damage is throughout the building."

The cause of the fire will be under investigation and investigators will be on scene Sunday morning.

"No injuries have been reported. However, emergency personnel are still confirming that all residents are accounted for."

Fire has forced residents of a townhouse complex at 660 Lequime Road just off Lakeshore Road out of their homes.

The fire, which started on the fourth floor, was called in at about 10:30 Saturday evening.

The complex includes around 40 units.

Emergency officials at the scene tell Castanet they believe everyone got out.

Tom O'Reilly, a resident of the complex, says residents at 660 Lequime along with those at an adjoining complex have all been evacuated.

O'Reilly says he's worried about what will be left of his home but admits he's just glad he made it out safely.

Residents of Mission Breeze, a semi-detached condo development with about 35 homes, have also been evacuated.

Another resident who lives on the fourth floor was watching television with his wife when they saw a reflection of the flames on their screen.

They noticed the flames coming from their neighbour's deck, pulled the fire alarm and banged on doors imploring people to leave.

They had just moved into the building two weeks ago. They managed to get out with just their laptop computer.

Cathy Athens lives next door.

"Never in my life have I ever seen anything like it," says Athens.

"My eyes could not adjust to the flames. Then the police came and said we have to leave now!"

Flames and smoke can be seen throughout the city.
