Smoke still rolled off the remains of a barn smouldering off Highway 16, 20 hours after it was destroyed by fire.

The Battleford Fire Department was called to Sunshine Stables west of Battleford at around 11:20 p.m. Wednesday night.

A steer and horse were killed and a tractor was also destroyed, Chief Larry Gabruch told battlefordsNOW.

“It is always unfortunate when somebody loses possessions and animals,” Gabruch said.
