A house on Abbott Drive in West Quesnel is now completely destroyed following an early morning fire.
Fire Chief Sylvain Gauthier said they got a call at around two o’clock and it wasn’t their first time to this location.
“The building previously suffered serious fire damage earlier this year, so the building was vacant and when we showed up on the scene the structure was fully involved so there was nothing left to save.”
Gauthier said the fire was definitely suspicious in nature.
“I can honestly say that the fire is suspicious in nature as there was no power and no gas, so it was deliberately set inside the structure.”
Gauthier says 16 members, two engines and two utility vehicles were on scene for just over four hours.
