Fire shuts down Little Red River Park
UPDATE: PAFD reports the fire is contained and residents given the go-ahead to return home. PAFD also says the barricades have been taken down and the park is once again open.
A fire in Little Red River Park changed people’s leisurely plans on Saturday afternoon.
Prince Albert Police and Prince Albert Fire Department (PAFD) vehicles blocked areas around the park’s entrance and a bylaw officer turned traffic away.
For anyone who’d considered going to the park, it’s important to turn back to reduce congestion in the park area so emergency responders can move, said Prince Albert Fire Department’s deputy fire chief Corey Rodgers.
