Another structure has been destroyed by fire at the Moccasin Flats encampment.
Prince George Fire Rescue crews from two halls were dispatched to the Lower Patricia camp, at Fifth Avenue and Ottawa Street, at about 6:42 a.m. Saturday and found one improvised residence fully involved in fire.
Firefighters quickly doused the flames using hand lines. Damage was estimated at $1,000.
There were no reported injuries to firefighters or civilians.
The city is making plans to permanently close the controversial encampment once construction of a BC Housing transitional housing facility on Third Avenue is completed late this summer or early fall.
