Leaving Melfort Saturday, May 11 Jared Summach saw the plume of smoke rising from the Star City. He drove up to the Star City Hutterite colony just before the fire trucks began arriving. Jared got there at 12:42 PM and less than a minute later the first fire truck was on the scene. The picture at the bottom of the page was taken at 12:44 PM.

At the time it was not known how the fire got started in the huge machinery quonset but the heat from the fire was intense and one has to assume that the loss of equipment was extensive. No addition details are available.
