PG Fire Rescue clearing up hotspots before Spotless Uniform fire investigation begins

Prince George Fire Rescue crews remain on scene at Spotless Uniform, where a fire broke out just before 9:00 last night (Tuesday).

Firefighters from four halls, including 19 suppression members attended, and found the building fully involved.

Fire Chief Bryan Burleigh said an investigation is yet to begin.

“Big events like this take several days. We’re still managing hotspots and the extinguishing fire, and that has to be completely extinguished before any investigation can be conducted here.”

The fire caused $1.9 million in damages, however crews were able to prevent further damage beyond the building.

Burleigh said this is a significant loss to the community, but have had significant fires like this on a regular basis.

There were no injuries to crews or the public.
