Grain elevator in Beaverlodge destroyed by fire

By , Farms.com

A grain elevator in Beaverlodge, Alberta - about 40 kilometres west of Grande Prairie caught on fire and was destroyed Friday morning. Emergency crews were called about 6:30a.m., which shut down Highway 43. Volunteer firefighters managed to have the fire under control about two hours later.

An RCMP official said that the grain elevator was empty at the time the fire broke out and there was no risk to residents near the town. The elevator belongs to Foster’s Seed and Feed, a local company which was founded in 1952. The building was retired three years ago and wasn’t insured. No injuries have been reported from the fire. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but an investigation into the blaze is to take place shortly.
