PRINCE GEORGE—The fire at Spruce City Stadium is being investigated as an arson.

Shortly after 5:00 a.m. on August 3, Fire crews from three halls and RCMP responded to a fire on the 2200 block of Massey drive. Crews contained the fire to the original building and extinguished the flames. City Parks employees said that the concession was last attended by city staff around 4:00 p.m. the day before.

“We are currently investigating this incident as an act of arson. Additionally, it appears as though the suspect or suspects stole two large Bluetooth speakers that were stored inside the concession. We are appealing to the public to come forward if they have any knowledge of who may have stolen the speakers or started the fire. They can speak with an investigator by calling the non-emergency line at 250-561-3300,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Frontline officers were joined at the stadium by Prince George RCMP Fire Investigation to collect evidence and take photos.
