A mainstay in the town of Rosthern has been reduced to rubble after a devastating fire.

Just before 2 a.m. on Wednesday, flames and smoke were spotted coming from the Rosthern Hospitality Motel.

“The fire had grown to a fairly good size,” said Fire Chief Darcy Hrycuik. “The guys started to attack the fire and it spread fairly fast. It’s an older structure.”

It took the crew two hours to extinguish the blaze.

“Our deepest and most sincere sympathies from our Staff and Council go out to the Owners and Residents of the Rosthern Motel that was lost to fire last night. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and our thanks to Rosthern Fire and Rescue and the RCMP for their work,” said a statement on the town’s Facebook page.
