Prince George Fire Rescue finds flames at Nelly's Pub plaza

Fire ripped through nelly's pub and the rest of a Hart Highway plaza in Prince George early Wednesday, April 29. Prince George Fire Rescue was called to the Northwood Plaza Hotel at about 2:30 a.m. and found the building in flames.

The blaze hit a plaza that holds a hotel, a pub and a liquor store. There was no immediate word on injuries or damage.

The call brought crews to the Northwood Plaza Hotel before dawn, when the fire was already spreading through the building. The plaza's mix of businesses means the fire reached more than one tenant space in the same complex.

For customers and employees tied to the site, the immediate change is simple: the building was on fire before sunrise, and no damage assessment or injury information was available right away.

The Hart Highway plaza includes the hotel, the pub and the liquor store named in the report. That layout places several businesses in one structure, which leaves each one exposed when fire moves through the building.

Prince George Fire Rescue found the building in flames after arriving at about 2:30 a.m., and the fire was still the central fact in the report. No additional details were provided on how the blaze started or how far it spread.

Anyone connected to the plaza is left waiting on the same basic questions: how much of the complex was damaged, and which businesses can reopen after the fire is assessed.
