A devastating fire has left a family without a home after it destroyed their farm south of Saskatoon.
The fire, which was described as “hellish” by witnesses, broke out on Saturday afternoon at a farm located on Highway 11 near the town of Dundurn.
According to the owner of the farm, the fire started in a shed and quickly spread to the main house. Despite the efforts of the local fire department, the flames were too intense to be contained.
The family, who has lived on the farm for over 20 years, was able to escape the fire unharmed. However, they lost everything in the blaze, including their beloved pets.
Neighbours and community members came together to offer support and assistance to the family in their time of need. A GoFundMe page has also been set up to help them get back on their feet.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have been accidental. The damage is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and prevention measures, especially in rural areas where response times may be longer.
Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time, and we hope they are able to rebuild and recover from this devastating loss.
