Thousands of pigs lost in fire near Cudworth
A devastating loss as a fire tore through a large farrow-to-finish hog operation Thursday night north of Cudworth, Sask.
The fire was called in by the site manager at roughly 7:00 p.m.
RM of Hoodoo Reeve Derreck Kolla said the RM and towns of Cudworth and Wakaw have a joint fire service and all trucks, tankers, and pumpers responded.
“By the time they got there, they were hoping they could save some of the barns, but the fire moved so fast that they weren’t able to save any of the barns,” he said.
