Seven hundred thousand dollars worth of damage was sustained to a home on the 1400 block of Shady Valley Road according to Prince George Firefighters.
Crews responded to the call just after 9 am this morning where fifteen firefighters from three different halls arrived.
Once on the scene, they found smoke coming from the roof and the main floor of the property.
Deputy Fire Chief, Blake King is glad no one was home at the time of the fire.
“It was good to have nobody home at the time but one dog was at home but was outside on our arrival, it was a stubborn fire that took us a while to find the seat of but we were able to get it.”
He adds we’re entering that time of year where everybody needs to be more fire smart.
“Wood stoves and chimneys become a bit of an issue this time of year and also external heaters and candles.”
The fire was extinguished but sustained extensive damage to the interior.
The cause is unknown at this time and crews are still searching for any hotspots and extensions.
No injuries were reported to fire personal.
