It was a busy weekend for Prince George Firefighters.
Just after midnight on Saturday, crews from three halls responded to a blaze at a multi-unit residential building in the 100 block of Ontario Street.
Crews found smoke in a second-floor unit and quickly extinguished the fire. One resident was removed from the building, treated for burns and transported to hospital.
Damage was confined to one second-floor unit and is estimated at $50,000.
At 8:20 p.m. last night (Sunday), local firefighters went to a structure fire in the 7000 block of Hart Highway. Twelve crew members from three halls arrived to find the building filled with smoke and burning inside.
Crews quickly extinguished the fire, but the interior of the building sustained significant damage.
The building was unoccupied, and no members of the public or fire crews were injured.
Damage to the structure is estimated at $50,000.
The cause of both fires are under investigation.
