<p><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Prince George Fire Rescue crews rushed to the scene in the Northwood Plaza complex along the John Hart Highway around 2:20 am today.</p>

<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;Upon arrival, crews found heavy smoke coming from the roof,&rdquo; noted a media release issued by the City of Prince George.</p>

<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;Fire crews initiated an aggressive interior attack to confine the fire, however, were forced into a defensive posture as heavy flames within the roof made conditions extremely dangerous.&rdquo;</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Northwood Plaza Hotel and Nelly&rsquo;s Pub are said to have been destroyed by the fire, and the loss of the latter as a popular community hub has residents reeling today.</p>

<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;Our hearts are heavy, this pub means everything to our family,&rdquo; said a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nellyspub/posts/pfbid0YwXU1hmuQNAtRaRCiPmHc5Kkzz6C4VGH4bARNqyh3mdZYxoYU4E6Qk6JH3pHUooSl">short statement from owners of Nelly&rsquo;s Pub</a>, noting that they&rsquo;re thankful everyone is safe after the blaze.</p>

<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;We appreciate everyone who has reached out, we are overwhelmed by the support already shown by our community. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we navigate the next steps.&rdquo;</p>

<p dir="ltr">Other affected businesses in the complex like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/madisonavefashions/posts/pfbid02ydhuD2q6ma9YjJkSDxZRAvCQkRsgp8JQQ1onZ5zavt7yDRfKB2XNMSPbi5vkeY5rl">Madison Ave Fashions</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StyleYouUp/posts/pfbid02wDv9DcmaTNCi5WWatfbZAyEC4e1f5txRgHnkLYQvG3iEbhpGrC8UZxASP6bLkqGVl">Style You Up</a> have also taken to social media to share that they&rsquo;ll be closed until further notice as they assess the situation and damage.</p>
