An early morning Sunday morning fire call sent Prince Rupert Fire/Rescue personnel to an unoccupied hotel on Third Avenue in the downtown core, with crews quickly containing the fire to a portion of the basement.

Arriving on scene at 4:25 AM, their quick work to tackle the fire meant that it did not have an opportunity to extend into the upper floors; a subsequent search of the building came back with no indication that anyone was in the building or if there were other fire related issues to address.

There were no injuries to fire personnel reported from the incident, the Fire is now under investigation.
