FRESS firefighters from Sedgewick, Killam, and Hardisty stations were called out to a fire the evening on Monday, Jan. 20 in Sedgewick, where O’Brien Collision Center and Customs was in flames.
Witnesses say smoke could be seen from south of Sedgewick as fire raged through the building.
FRESS Regional Fire Chief Derek Homme says the three stations responded with firefighters and equipment, “and fought to save the building, however it was lost.”
He says no injuries were reported during the event.
Homme expressed his appreciation for local businesses Bergum’s Water Hauling, Amped Energy (Stacy Sanders) and to other citizens who assisted with the response.
“Our sympathy to owners and staff affected by this fire.”
