A major fire has destroyed the event centre and gym owned and operated by the Prince Albert Grand Council Friday morning.
The Prince Albert Fire Department received the call at 8:26 a.m. and deployed three engines, two ladder trucks and all on-call staff.
Deputy Fire Chief Alex Paul says firefighters found a “significant fire” on the lower office area of the building and it quickly spread to the second level.
“We’re having significant difficulty getting to the seat of the fire because it’s a cedar clad building that’s had metal put over top so we’re having to remove all the metal to get to the fire,” Paul said.
Mayor Greg Dionne was one of hundreds of people who went to view the fire.
