Moosomin RCMP and Moosomin Fire Department ended up battling a fire along the Trans-Canada Highway late Wednesday afternoon. Smoke in the area forced the closure of the Trans Canada from the Manitoba border to the Town of Moosomin. Some structures were lost. By about six o’clock, Highway 1 had one lane eastbound open from Moosomin, but drivers were being told to proceed with caution because there were emergency personnel along the highway.
