Gladstone’s only mechanic shop has been destroyed. On Sunday, Oct. 9, fire crews and an ambulance were called to Hunt Mechanical after an explosion and subsequent fire. Lorne Hunt, the business owner and town’s fire chief, was on scene early and managed to pull several items from inside. One person was taken to the hospital in Portage la Prairie. The man was treated for second degree burns to 20 per cent of his body and released the following day. In a statement to the Neepawa Banner, RCMP indicated that at this point of the investigation the fire is not considered suspicious and no foul play is suspected.
