Prince George, B.C.  –  Firemen battle a stubborn fire in Prince George that broke out shortly before 3.30pm. at the Highglen Elementary School.  There were no injuries.

Cause of the fire  is still under investigation, but it is known  the flames started in a classroom in the north end of the school.

There will be no school tomorrow at this site as the building  is full  of smoke.   Northern Health’s Public Health Officer Dr. William Osei was on scene late this afternoon to  talk to officials about  the  thick cloud of smoke that blanketed the neigbourhood.  It is not known  if any who lived near the school suffered  any breathing issues  because of that smoke.

Although  there  were  at  least  three ambulances on scene, there were no injuries reported.
