Wondering how they got a building permit.
I remember those days, when there was a little house on the property with quite a bit land around – but that house burned down a few years ago.
Now, crowded in apartment blocks, looks awful.
The owners used any available square metre to get as many apartments and condos as possible to make good money.
But hardly no access for the firebrigade, to get into it.

I am glad the firewalls worked out for them. From this picture, it looks like the fire did get stopped on a vertical line.

Its a big mess either way.

I think something worked to get that fire out as quickly as they did to save the rest of the building from burning. Sadly I can see nobody returning home anytime soon for those who weren’t really affected by the fire itself. Smoke and water damage for the others. Just glad no one was hurt and the people of Prince George are extremely caring when disaster strikes.

This is a leading question..Why isn’t the headline FIRE DEPT. LOOKING FOR INFO ? Rumour I have heard stated fire related to romantic evening ie. candles and such..
