A small Saskatchewan village has lost several important landmarks following a fire on Tuesday afternoon.

Cheryl Greuel, the mayor of Wiseton, Sask. says she was at work in a nearby community school when she received an urgent phone call.

Around 1:45 I got a call saying that fire had been dispatched to Wiseton, and that the old bar was on fire, Greuel told CTV News.

Greuel says it appears the fire started in a truck parked near the old hotel and quickly spread from the bar of the hotel to the nearby village office. She quickly put out a call for help on social media, and nearby fire departments and neighbours answered the call.
