Prince George, B.C.-  Old Cariboo Highway is closed to traffic as  firefighters try to  douse a blaze  on a property in the 10300 block.

Emergency personnel remain on scene.

There  have been no reports of injuries.

There is no indication  on when  the Old Cariboo  Highway will reopen.

My boyfriend and I came out of superstore and saw the smoke. He said the airport was probably doing drills, I said that is was beyond the airport. Prayers to the family, hope all are ok.

Was just around there when it started on my motorbike. Almost looked like it was trying to start the bush one fire behind. Such a dangerous time with the dry grass and wind. To bad for the owners to happen on Mothers day hope things are resolved the best as possible.

At least smoke isn’t a greenhouse gas.
