String of downtown fires has business owners fed up
PRINCE GEORGE – Downtown Prince George has been no stranger to fires recently, and it has many business owners frustrated and fed up with the damages and dangers it causes. Hands on Car Wash was the most recent victim of property damage, as one of its UHAUL truck burned to a crisp.
“It’s getting worse and worse. Last summer, we had two fires behind the trailer here. They had to call the fire department to put the fire out in the brush. And then now we’ve got them sleeping in our vehicles and lighting fires in it to keep warm. And obviously, this one went wrong for them,” said Hand on Car Wash owner Nick Kozak, when speaking on the recent UHAUL fire.
