A Huge Blaze

   And it happened last night in my new hometown of Yorkton. Crews were called out about 9:00 last night to what's known locally as the Robert Place Apartments, where flames and smoke were billowing out of the building. The building in question is the old hospital here in the city, which was converted to apartments years ago.
   I've heard a lot of people managed to evacuate with just the clothes on their backs, and lost everything else to the flames. Coming just weeks before Christmas, it's the last thing anyone needs.
   Already, the community has stepped forward to help those displaced. The Red Cross is offering food and shelter through their emergency measures line. And a local organization, Yorkton Manor Helping Hand is accepting donations. As well several Samaritans were handing out coffee and hot food to displaced residents
   Major fires, and fires of any kind, in this city are rare.
   Thanks to GX94 morning man Danny Ismond for the photo he snapped on the way into work this morning.
