They called in help from Rocky View County's Fire Services and successfully fought the fire. Most of the south end of the vacant station building was destroyed, but the fire was stopped before it consumed the entire structure or spread to neighboring businesses or residents!
I thought our volunteer fire department did an amazing job of extinguishing that fire in a tinder dry building with no fire suppression at all! Once again I say, "Good on ya Beiseker Fire Department! Well done! We're proud of you." The cause of the fire is now under investigation.
Once again I also reiterate that the Village of Beiseker has nothing to do with the Centennial Railway Museum nor the Bassano Station, except that it is located in our village - but many of us on Village Council have been urging the museum folks to get the project moving again.
A significant amount of Federal tax dollars (I understand that it is more than $400,000) has been spent on this project so far! Now we on Village Council would like to meet in person with the executive of the museum to find out what their plans are from here. I'll let you know what we find out, when we find out.
