A fire destroyed a grain elevator in Waskada, Man.
About 50 firefighters from Deloraine, Melite and Waskada Fire Departments responded to the call.
After about three hours on site, the fire reduced the grain elevator to rubble and debris with the firefighters focused on keeping embers from sparking additional fires.
Farmers supported the firefighters.
Producers provided water to help keep the fire at bay.
“We would like to thank the continuous support of all the farmers supplying water to keep all 3 fire trucks pumping all day long,” the Deloraine Fire Department said on Facebook. “We estimate between the 3 departments we probably pumped upwards of 60,000+ gallons of water.”
Other members of the community provided food.
