Building goes down in flames

May 4, 2016 | 7:49 PM

A warehouse collapsed in a fire on TG Watch Industries tonight, May 4.

Fire fighters responded to a structure fire late afternoon on Wednesday May. 4. The blaze seemed under control at first but quickly turned around on firefighters as the roof collapsed around 5:30 p.m.

The North Battleford Fire Department was able to ensure that no one was in the building before it fell apart.

The police and fire crew were unable to comment on what may have started the fire and won’t until at least Thursday when they can properly examine the scene. As of 7 p.m. the warehouse was still smoking but the fire was contained.
