Fire destroys Prince George Airport hangar toppling landmark
A major blaze gutted the Prince George Airport hangar on the northeast end of the building. Fire crews evacuated aircraft and major equipment as the fire raged, with officials delaying interior operation to prevent spread to the RCMP hangar and nearby structures. NT Air and Airconsol Aviation Services rushed assets to safety and planned to resume operations, while officials noted the loss would run into tens of millions.
