Fire destroys Sasktel building in Pierceland

Nov 4, 2016 | 9:24 AM

A fire has completely destroyed Pierceland’s SaskTel building which subsequently disrupted landline, Internet, and cellular services in the community.

SaskTel crews are working to restore service as quickly as possible in the northwestern town, located 108 km from Meadow Lake.

In a media release, SaskTel spokesperson Greg Jacobs said there is no estimated time of repair.

At this time, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Jacobs said work on repairing the service is going well, however with the size of the project it will take some time before service is back.
