Part of Bentley’s Main Street was closed during the afternoon on September 14th for a large structure fire that destroyed a home. 

The fire was noted around 2:00PM and multiple emergency crews were on scene including Bentley Fire, City of Lacombe’s Volunteer Fire Department, and the County of Lacombe Volunteer Fire Department. Although slightly breezy conditions appeared to reignite the home at times, neighbouring homes were not damaged from the flames.  

Bystanders believe there was one occupant in the house during the fire who was able to safely exit the home. While others who lived in the home were believed to be at work. 

Updates on the fire will be made available on LacombeOnline.com.
