Show creator and star Brent Butt tweeted about his concern for the safety of anyone caught up in the fire. Luckily, nobody was injured.

Ok…so apparently the building that played the old Foo Mar T on CornerGas has burned down in Rouleau, SK. Hope no one was hurt.

Rouleau, which played Dog River on the show, has become a popular tourist destination. Just this summer, the cast reassembled there to shoot a "Corner Gas" movie.

While the fire took place near many of the other sets used by the show, the Foo Mart was the only building destroyed.
