Video of the right jet pipe, from ChrisVJ's link:
Is that a compressor stall or something else?
Interesting flightpath prior to landing at Kelowna:
There are no airports east of Kelowna that would be suitable for a diversion, except in a dire emergency. The maximum MEA is 13,400'.

Was that an engine fire or an engine failure? The fire detection system moniters the cowling area around the engine not inside the jet pipe. I think the jet pipe area has a fire wire around it so it may have triggered a fire warning. It's over 3 years since I worked on Q400s.
Either way, a safe outcome.
