A significant amount of damage was done to a mobile home, but no other structures became involved in a weekend fire.

The fire was located in the 3700 block of Lansdowne Road, part of a row of mobile homes facing the Fraser River in the Sunrise Valley Mobile Home Park.

"There was one person home at the time however they were outside on our arrival," said Assistant Chief Drew Larsen of the Prince George Fire Rescue Service. "The resident was checked by fire crews and was taken to hospital by B.C. Ambulance Service with undetermined injuries."

The alarm came in to firefighters at about 6:25 a.m. Three fire halls dispatched 17 members to assist.

Larsen said arriving crews "found smoke and fire coming from one corner of a mobile home" and took quick action to keep the fire contained inside the one small building. As it was, he estimated $50,000 damage was inflicted to the residence.

"This incident is not considered to be suspicious," Larsen added. "The cause of the fire is currently undetermined and an investigator has been called in to determine cause."
