City of Prince George and B.C. Wildfire Service firefighters found a burning vehicle in the woods near the UNBC campus on Sunday.

Prince George fire crews were called to a wooded area near the UNBC campus Sunday after receiving reports of a possible forest fire.

Once there at about 6:30 p.m., firefighters found a burning vehicle in an area that was difficult to access. Moving in first on foot and then via a dirt access road, city firefighters and B.C. Wildfire Service crews were able to put out the fire before it spread into the woods.

No injuries were reported.

The investigation continues. The vehicle, which firefighters say appeared to be abandoned, was left in place and will be removed at a later date.
