Investigation into suspicious fires underway

Prince George, Information Wanted

2025-06-12 09:32 PDT

File # 2025-16878, 2025-17621

Prince George RCMP is currently looking for any information regarding two suspicious fires that occurred at the same housing complex on the 1200-block of Cuddie Crescent in the last week.

The first fire occurred on Thursday, June 5, 2025 just before 2:00 a.m. and was contained to the end unit of a four-plex at that location. The second fire occurred on Wednesday, June 11 at approximately 2:30 a.m. and this time engulfed all four units.

Thankfully, everyone was able to get out of the houses in time and no injuries have been reported. Investigators are now asking for anyone in that area to check their video surveillance or dash camera footage for anyone caught moving through that neighbourhood around the time of the two fires or for any footage relating to the fires that would assist these investigations in moving forward, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Both of these investigations remain open.

Smash Burgers Recipe

Smash Burgers are juicy, flavorful, and unbelievably easy to make! Try them at your next gathering.

Ingredients

1½ pounds ground beef 80/20 (675g)

▢4 burger buns (213g)

▢1 teaspoon salt divided

▢1 teaspoon ground black pepper divided

▢4 slices cheddar cheese or American cheese (76g)

▢Toppings of choice: Tomato slices, onion slices, shredded lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into balls and place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 6 hours.

Increase heat to high. Place 2 to 4 balls of ground beef on the very hot griddle (leave plenty of room between each, so cook fewer at a time if needed). Smash the beef with a spatula into thin patties. Season the top of each patty with salt and pepper.

Cook until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and season the cooked side with salt and paper. Cook until crisp and browned on bottom, about 1 minute more.

Top half of the patties with a cheese slice and place a plain patty on top of the cheese. Remove from skillet or griddle. Repeat with the remaining beef and cheese. Serve the double patties on buns with your favorite toppings.

Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If desired, toast the buns by brushing the cut side of the buns with melted butter and placing on the griddle until golden brown, about 1 minute.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)

If you have been toying between something that was more important in the past as opposed to other things you have considered early in the year, you could now realise what would represent greater stability. Decisions can be made between now and mid April that you can move forward with, though the pace may not be quick.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

It is a wait and see game at the moment. Knowing exactly the intentions of somebody else can be difficult, except in situations where they expect a lot from you. In those instances, you do nothing. Whatever decisions they will make from now to mid April is something they will move forward with. Then it will become evident.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

You can feel more determined to take action based on realising it is not absolutely necessary to aim high right now. Part of this can be based on greater clarity, from now to mid April, on the best way to move forward that you may have been aiming to achieve since early February. Moving on from the unnecessary but nice can be part of it.

GEMINI (May 21

-June 20)

The time has come to be able to make some final decisions from now to mid April when it comes to commitments that may have been all over the place since mid February. Being overly generous on a personal level is something you might need to watch. You should factor in the sort of independence you want in the long term.

VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)

A situation involving other people could start to become more stable, even predictable. The more patient you have been since mid February, the better will be the result from now mid April. It is important you are definite this week when it comes to things important to you and what, if anything, you are prepared to drop.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov.22-Dec.21)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

You can now settle, up to mid April, on the best decisions to make when it comes to finances that have likely been through many ups and downs since mid February. This can generate stability without inhibiting areas of independence important to you. There is still enjoyment in the offering but not as much as you would prefer.

You can finally get to the point of making final decisions to mid April when it comes to getting something settled, which has likely been all over the place since mid February. This has likely involved what somebody else has expected but they might realise it is time they lowered the demand level if there is to be a solution.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

You can feel as though you know your own mind with Mercury, the planet of thought in your sign for the final time until 16th April while moving forward. This is the last of matters having a sense of being in and out. With this can come a stable sense of balance allowing you to make decisions in an independent manner.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

You can be quite fired up this week with the first quarter Moon in your sign, joining Mars. It is where you can head in the future – especially the next 2 years that will interest you. You could modify, from now to mid April, some thoughts you had earlier in the year that haven’t really gone anywhere yet. Now they can become clearer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

You should finally be able to sort some details out and move forward with a matter that has been ongoing and changeable since mid February. Be definite about the level of commitment you are prepared to take on, especially if it needs to be lowered in some way. Ignore any rebellion that might come from others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)

Becoming settled in your own mind is certainly possible to mid April. This might include the right information now coming your way, which just didn’t seem to happen earlier in the year. You could also recognise the way decisions can now be made that will generate flexibility in situations without limiting your independence.

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

There is a lot going on behind the scenes right now. Think about anything that has popped into your mind of late that has stalled or been held up. You could now get some forward movement to mid April, if only in your own mind. This could more be the solution, as you will be in a better position mid April to become decisive.
