PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George firefighters were kept busy on Boxing Day as they responded to a pair of structure fires.

The first fire in the Lombardy Mobile Home Park on Norwood Street was called in about 10:30 am Friday (Dec. 26) morning.

“The first arriving crew found a vacant single detached trailer, involved in heavy flame and with thick black smoke exiting from the windows,” a statement from the City of Prince George said. “The fire was deep seated and had caused significant structural damage, making firefighting efforts difficult.”

While it took firefighters a few hours to extinguish the blaze, no injuries were reported. It’s also not yet clear what caused this fire, though according to the city, damage is estimated to be at $20,000.

The second structure fire was called in about 9:00 p.m. last night at a house in the 1000 block of Douglas Street.
