ROULEAU, Sask. - A building made famous by the hit television series "Corner Gas" about small-town Saskatchewan life has burned to the ground.
Grant Clarke, mayor of the small town of Rouleau (ROH'-loh) where the former CTV comedy was filmed, says hundreds of people watched as flames engulfed the building.
The structure was used as the local supermarket in the show that featured the fictional town of Dog River.
It had become home to a business manufacturing orthopedics.
Clarke says the fire was reported around 5 p.m. as 180 people attended an anniversary party at the nearby town hall.
He says the flames were out about 9 p.m., but fire crews worked overnight to put out hot spots.
There's no word yet on what caused the blaze.
Clarke says crews are waiting for the fire marshal to arrive before they start to clean up.
