The fire alarm sounded yesterday, Thursday September 6th, in Shaunavon at approximately four p.m. sending local fire crews to a location six miles south of Dollard.

Shaunavon Fire Chief, Merrick Goldstein, says two barns were on fire in an abandoned farmyard.

Both barns and their contents were completely destroyed in the blaze, including a tractor and a truck.

Goldstein says the fire was easily contained but did take some time to put out.

There were no injuries reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
