That’s the word Kellie Young used to describe her feelings soon after fire swept up the back wall of her downtown Prince George store, Niche Clothing & Trading Co., in the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 9.An unhoused man trying to stay warm lit the fire by the store’s back door and walked away.The situation for the unhoused that live in the downtown core is terrible, she added.“I love the downtown, I love the people in Prince George,” Young said.
The report that came from Prince George Fire Rescue about the April 9th fire stated the structure damage was $150,000 and that is accurate. The only thing that can possibly be recovered is any metal pieces in the store because those can be wiped down.
