At the same address, a vehicle and the carport were seriously damaged during another fire on Thursday, December 8th, around 3:30 AM.
At approximately 4:15 AM on Friday, December 9th, the Prince George RCMP responded to a suspicious fire on Michael Road. Both the carport and the vehicle inside were damaged. No one was hurt.

“Police are deeply concerned about the recent string of suspicious fires,” says Cpl. Craig Douglass, “Although we cannot say that these fires are connected, we are looking into any possible connections that these residences or the persons in them may have.”
Douglass says all four are suspicious. No other suspicious fires have been reported since early Saturday morning.
