A small Saskatchewan village has lost several important landmarks following a fire earlier this week.
The former hotel, post office and town office in Wiseton, Sask. went up in flames on Tuesday, according to a Facebook post from a local, who shared photos of the hotel and a nearby building ablaze.
“Feeling pretty bad for my hometown of Wiseton,” Dave Westbury said in the post.
“Even though the hotel has been closed for a while we all had a lot of good memories there. Never easy seeing a part of history being destroyed.”
Westbury said he was grateful there wasn’t stronger wind, as it could have pushed the fire to his parents’ and brother’s house nearby.
