Incident still under investigation
A total of 31 emergency personnel responded to the scene when a huge fire hit a resort clubhouse in Saskatchewan earlier this week.
The incident happened Monday morning at the Resort Village of Candle Lake.
Around 12:40 a.m. that day, on-call firefighters from the village, located just over two hours northeast of Saskatoon, responded to the call.
The emergency personnel who attended the fire included 17 responders from Candle Lake Emergency Services, and another 14 from the Prince Albert Fire Department, Garden River Fire Department, and the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency. Personnel from other agencies including Sask Power, SaskEnergy and the Candle Lake Regional Special Constable Service also attended the scene. Numerous other individuals supported the group by providing food, water, and other required items and services, according to the Resort Village of Candle Lake.
“The loss of this very important and beautiful resort that provided so much joy to so many people not only in our community but from across the province, is devastating,” Colleen Lavoie, mayor of the Resort Village of Candle Lake said on Tuesday.
“The entire Resort Village is feeling for the owners, the employees, and everyone affected by this loss, and our community is here to support them in their efforts to rebuild, however, that looks for them.”
Investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
