Prince George mobile home gutted by fire

The lone occupant of the home made it out safely

One person made it out safely but his home was gutted Monday after a fire broke out at Caledonia Mobile Home Park in Prince George.

Crews from three city fire halls were called to the park at about 10:30 a.m. after its resident, who was alone in the home at the time, escaped before the trailer was fully engulfed in flames.

Eric Bellwell told The Citizen that he was having a cigarette in his living room when he noticed the fire. He got out and called 911.

The fire at the North Nechako Road community caused about $23,400 in damage. There were no injuries. Bellwell said he was unable to drive his vehicle, which suffered some body damage from the fire, as his keys were inside the trailer at the time of the fire.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined and remains under investigation, Prince George Fire Rescue Service reported.
