No people or animals were inside or hurt when a horse training facility in Rama went up in flames early Saturday morning.
Invermay Fire Department chief Mark Eskra said his team was called out to the facility just after 5 a.m.and found it fully engulfed by fire.
The building used to house the community curling and skating arenas, but was sold to a private owner a few years ago. Foam Lake Fire Department, who assisted the Invermay crew, said the curling rink and lobby were lost while the arena portion may be repairable.
Eskra said they do not yet know the cause of the fire.
Rama is 270 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
