PRINCE GEORGE, BC: Emergency crews remain on scene of a structure fire involving the Econolodge Motel on Victoria Street here in Prince George this morning…

PJXM was notified of the fire just after 9 AM and upon arrival to the scene, smoke was billowing into downtown Prince George.

Because the roads are closed and the amount of thick smoke, a new location was chosen for a video.

Emergency crews currently have Victoria Street closed between 8th Ave and Patricia Blvd.

More to come.
