Prince George, B.C.- A 47 year old male is in custody following an incident involving a firearm.

Prince George RCMP  were called to a gas station  around 1 this afternoon  where it was reported a  vehicle had been  the target of a  shot on Faulkner Crescent.

Police then attended the scene on Faulkner, where they  made an arrest and seized a long gun and some ammunition. 

When  leaving the residence  police spotted smoke, and the  fire department was called in.  The Prince George Fire Rescue was able to  extinguish the fire in  short order.

long gun = rifle
wild fire = forest fire

We don’t live in the USA, this is Canada. Let’s use the Queen’s own English. LOL.

Like the long gun registry?

I see no reference to wildfire in the article (just smoke) but a wildfire in British English is a fire in vegetation, grass or brush; a forest fire is a fire in a woodland; a crown fire is a fire in the branches of trees or treetop to treetop.
