RCMP investigating duplex fire

Sep 2, 2019 | 5:34 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George Fire Rescue doused a fire in the 4300 block of 1st Avenue today.

Assistant Fire Chief John Law says crews responded just before 1 p.m.

“First arriving fire crews found an older shingle story side-by-side duplex with smoke and flames coming from the back corner,” he says. “Fire crews quickly gained control of the incident and extinguished the fire which had started on the right hand unit.”

Law estimates the damages at $100,000 and says two occupants living in the left side unit escaped without injury.

No official word on the cause though he says the investigation has been handed over to the RCMP.
