March 13, 2014 was the day a fire ripped through the heritage tourism area of Moose Jaw Sask.  The building that suffered the worst was the building was home to a mural painted by Canadian Heritage Muralist,  Brian Romagnoli.

In this clip, as recorded from the a CBC Saskatoon Sask. radio newscast at 5pm, Romagnoli discusses the idea behind his creation, the community involvement that helped create it and the 180 hours of artistic labour it took to create the mural.

The fire and the back hoe that was used to uncover hot spots took a lot less time to destroy the work of art that illustrated the more illustrious side of Moose Jaw's history... a story that a lot of visitors found fascinating and enjoyable.
