East side fires keep Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue busy



A pair of fires on the east side of the city kept Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue busy over the last three days, with a residential fire and a commercial site blaze listed among their travels.

An early Friday morning fire on the 24th saw crews respond to a structure fire on 8th Avenue East behind Henry's B-Y market, the fire which required two crews to battle left a number of residents out of their homes and is currently under investigation by the Fire Department and the RCMP.
