Three planes destroyed in hangar fire at Lacombe Regional Airport

Jul 8, 2019 | 12:49 PM

Investigators are looking into the cause of a fire Sunday night that destroyed a hangar at the Lacombe Regional Airport.

Jon Fromm with Lacombe Flying Club said on Facebook that no one was inside the hangar at the time of the fire and that no one was injured.

Three airplanes were lost in the blaze along with other objects, but the owner is said to have insurance.

“On behalf of the Lacombe Flying Club, I would like to thank the Lacombe and Blackfalds Fire Departments, Lacombe Police Service, and EMS for their prompt response and diligent efforts,” Fromm said on Facebook.

“Unfortunately, due to the nature of the fire, there was nothing that could be done to save the hangar or its contents, but the successful containment of the fire prevented it from spreading to other buildings.”
