Our emergency services were notified of a fire in our downtown core early this morning. Emergency services responded to the call promptly and an Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC) was set up. The fire located at the King Edward Hotel on Main Street is now under control.
Unfortunately, the King Edward Hotel has been completely lost. I would like to thank our emergency responders for their efforts today and for containing the fire to one location.
I would like to extend our condolences to the owner of the building and business, the residents of the building and all those affected by this loss.
Fire services will remain on site throughout the evening to monitor the scene. There is currently debris from the fire on Main Street, and cleanup will commence tomorrow morning. I would like to remind residents to adhere to all closures, and for everyone’s safety, please do not enter the site.
Pincher Creek is a strong community and I am confident that we will rally behind those affected by this loss.
Mayor Don Anderberg
Town of Pincher Creek
