A fire south of Red Deer on Friday night is believed to have caused between $800,000 and $1,000,000 in damages to a local business.
A tin and wood building, which was under construction on the back half of the property at Blue Collar Garage (172 Clearview Drive), was fully engulfed around 9 p.m. when Red Deer County Fire Services first responded.
The business is located within the Clearview Industrial Park, south of 19 Street and just off 40 Avenue.
The owner tells rdnewsNOW that no one was around at the time and that they will rebuild. The business’s second phase 8500 sq. ft. building had been set to open at the end of September.
