The abandoned house on the Low Road on Nak'azdli Reserve, where Fribjon Bjornson's remains were found, was damaged by fire recently.

The Fort St. James Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene on Sunday, April 15 at about 12:30 p.m. that afternoon. Two engines and ten firefighters responded.

The structure was fully engulfed upon arrival

Grass in the yard and ditch of the neighbouring house were burnt and from the exterior, it appears about half the house was seriously damaged.

The cause of the fire is still unknown at this time, and the investigation continues.
