Buckerfield’s is sending out its gratitude to all those who helped extinguish the fire that struck the business on 10th Avenue SW early Sunday evening.
One of the first questions a lot of residents were asking was if Buckerfield’s well-known resident cat made it out of the building all right. The answer from Buckerfield’s is yes.
Buckerfield’s Facebook post as of about 11 p.m. Sunday is as follows:
“A great big thank you to all the Fire Departments that came to save our store tonight. Thanks to the Paramedics who came to support the firefighters! Thanks to the community for your kind words. Cindy (the cat) is with one of her favourite people. She is safe and sound.”
