A carport is burning in Kelowna's Rutland area Friday afternoon.

The large fire, near Ziprick Road and Highway 33, has engulfed several vehicles in a condo carport, which is separated from the condo itself.

The Kelowna Fire Department is on scene working to knock down the blaze. A witness at the scene says two vehicles were damaged in the fire and video from the scene shows the fire burning through the roof of the carport.
