On Nov. 9, 2022, Radville Fire Department, along with the Yellow Grass, Ceylon, and Weyburn fire departments, responded to the early morning blaze around 2:30 a.m.
A community can change overnight.
A flood rolling through town, a tornado destroying the land, or in the case of Radville, Sask., a fire that destroyed the town office, the fire hall and a town shop.
Now, city officials are left to pick up the pieces.
“It’s just a disaster for the town of Radville,” Rene Bourassa, the mayor of Radville, said. “We just lost our heartbeat right here.”
The buildings were standing for over 100 years, and yet overnight, it was reduced to rubble.
On Nov. 9, 2022, Radville Fire Department, along with the Yellow Grass, Ceylon, and Weyburn fire departments responded to the early morning blaze around 2:30 a.m.
Radville sits about 134 kilometres south of Regina.
The town said no one was injured in the fire, but for the population of nearly a thousand, the loss of their community hub is devastating.
