Tran said there were six motel rooms in the building, which were booked often for travellers, especially in the winter for those who may be stranded by a storm.
The general manager at L T’s Food & Fuel said staff were alerted to a fire outside their building on Wednesday afternoon by a customer.
Tom Tran said the customer rushed into the store in Waskesiu Lake, Sask., and yelled for employees to call 911.
“At first we thought he was just joking around and I ask him, ‘Are you sure?’”
Tran said he and the owner went outside to check on the building.
“Right away we saw big smoke coming up from the motel behind the store and that’s when I reached for my phone and dialled 911,” Tran told Global News.
Tran said there were six motel rooms in the building, which were booked often for travellers, especially in the winter for those who may be stranded by a storm.
L T’s is a popular landmark in the area, located on the corner of Highway 2 North and Highway 264, frequented by travellers heading to destinations such as Prince Albert National Park, Elk Ridge Resort and more.
“We are known as the gateway to the north,” Tran said.
Police said they were called to the store, which is located on Rue De Liege in Montreal, around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
