UPDATE: The fire broke out in a second floor end unit and has spread into the roof of the structure. The roof on the end where crews are focused could collapse as shown in one of our videos below.

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.
