Fire torches three cars at hospital carpark

Fire engulfed three vehicles in the Lloydminster Hospital carpark on Thursday, May 29.

A social media post indicates the fire was roaring at about 2:40 p.m.

Lloydminster Fire Department crews who were returning to Station 1 from a previous call saw the heavy black smoke  and re-routed to the hospital where the vehicles were ablaze along with some grass in the parking lot.

Crews were able to put out the blaze and remained at the scene for nearly an hour.

It is unknown the extent of the damage to the vehicles.

While it remains hot and windy outside, the fire department reminds you to call 911 to report any fires or smoke sightings as quickly as possible.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
