Prince Albert firefighters were forced to employ some different tactics Thursday afternoon.

Around noon members responded to a vehicle fire on the Gateway Mall’s rooftop parking lot.

Prince Albert Fire Department Deputy Chief Corey Rodgers said firefighters laddered the builidng and extinguished the fire which was in the interior cab of the vehicle.

“Unfortunately, there was extensive damages to the interior,” he said.

Because the vehicle was on the roof of the building, Rodgers said it required more equipment and better positioning so members could extinguish the flames.
