Prince George, B .C. -Volunteer Firefighters from Pilot Mountain  Fire Department were  called into action to   a barn  fire on Knoedler Road in the north edge of Prince George last night.

Pilot Mountain Fire Chief Gil Lainey says they  got the call around 7 p.m. and  were assisted by  volunteers from  the Ness Lake Volunteer Fire Department as well as volunteers from  the Salmon Valley Fire Department. 

“Unfortunately, the  barn  was too engulfed to save” says Chief Lainey, “But we  were able to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent buildings, and  the tree line.”

Firefighters were on scene for about  4 hours.

The barn was being used for storage of vehicles and  a boat, there were no animals at risk.

No  injuries reported and  there is no estimate of damage yet.  Chief Lainey says although the  cause of the fire is undetermined,  it is possible a wood stove  used to heat the  barn may be responsible.
