A coroner's inquest into the deaths of two men in a Prince George sawmill explosion is scheduled to begin today.

Forty-three-year-old Alan Little and 46-year-old Glenn Roche died in the Lakeland Mills explosion and fire on April 23, 2012.

The inquest examining the deadly blast will be held in Prince George and is expected to continue until March 22.

A separate inquest will be held in July for two men who were killed in a separate sawmill explosion in Burns Lake in January 2012.
