A structure fire in Prince Rupert from Tuesday afternoon has claimed the life of one resident, and sent two others to hospital.
RCMP and crews from the Prince Rupert Fire Department were called out to the blaze at a home on 7th Avenue West at around 2:00 in the afternoon.
Firefighters and paramedics responded quickly to the fire, and were able to get all three occupants out of the building and sent to hospital.
Two of the occupants were treated for minor injuries and released, but one woman would unfortunately succumb to her injuries in hospital.
While the cause of the blaze has not been made public, investigators do not believe it to be suspicious at this time.
