“Typically when there is a fire in a vehicle there is so much damage to the engine compartment that it makes it almost impossible for us to dig in and find out exactly what caused it – unless there is a witness statement that can support a potential cause of that fire,” added Iverson.

According to the Prince George Fire Rescue, the car was parked at the time of the fire however they are not aware of the owner’s whereabouts. There were damages to other cars in the row but no one was injured.
