Mar 7, 2011 | 11:40 AM

RCMP are hoping someone knows why a small town Saskatchewan hotel burnt to the ground.

The Leask Hotel was consumed by fire last month, one year before its 100th birthday.

RCMP said the fire was no accident.

They have now released a photograph which shows the explosion which started the fire and subsequently destroyed the hotel.

Police continue to examine footage obtained from several cameras in the area.
