Fire destroys Bentley grain elevator
A several decades-old grain elevator in Bentley, northwest of Red Deer, is totally destroyed after fire ripped through it in the early morning hours of Dec. 23.
Located at 4701 51 Street in the small town of 1,042, calls about the elevator being on fire came in just after 1 a.m., says Bentley Fire Chief Ian McLaren.
McLaren says it’s too early to speak to the cause, nor is there any determination about whether it’s suspicious or not.
