Crane Collapse Threatens Seniors Home

A massive fire at a new seniors’ home construction site in Penticton has left a damaged, unstable crane posing a deadly collapse risk — prompting a citywide state of emergency, evacuations of ten homes, and damage to six others. With roads closed and the site secured, officials race to dismantle the crane by next week before launching a full investigation into the blaze’s cause. Despite the setback, the developer remains on track to complete the 200-bed facility by late 2028 — and even ahead of schedule before the fire hit.
