On May 3, 2010, at approximately 6:15 pm, Steinbach RCMP responded to a report of barn being on fire at a Dairy Farm in the RM of Ste. Anne.
When the police arrived, the barn was totally engulfed in flames. Local fire departments were able to extinguish the blaze, however, it appears the barn was a total loss. The barn contained several hundred dairy cattle.
The Office of the Fire Commissioner along with the Steinbach RCMP are continuing to investigate the fire. At this time the fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature. The value of the loss is estimated to be approximately 8.5 million dollars.
