As you are probably aware a fire in the Starland County Administration Office early Friday morning, May 25, has resulted in what is expected to be a total loss of
the building.
First of all, we want to thank all of the responders who arrived at the scene to give aid and support to all of the fire departments from Starland County and Drumheller, who fought so valiantly to save the building. Your efforts show us once again, how important it is to be a part of such a giving community.
We used Starland County equipment to bring down portions of the building that contained hotspots, and are now awaiting fire investigators, and our own insurance provider to complete their investigations.
It important for our residents to know that Starland staff at all levels are working to restore and maintain County operations as quickly as possible. We are currently looking at several options for temporary and suitable office space for administration staff, and thanks to all who have offered solutions. We have also received confirmation from our information technology providers that they are able to restore service within a few days of finding the proper office space.
All cell phone numbers for all staff are still in effect. The only number NOT in service is the main number you have always used. (403 772-3793). A new county number will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
All emergency numbers appearing on the website are still in effect.
Some financial transactions may be interrupted during the course of the transition and we ask for your patience.
Normal water utility services are continuing uninterrupted.
Telephone numbers at the Starland Public Works Offices are working and our staff will answer any questions residents may have.
Please use cell phone numbers until further notice.
Thank you to all for the assistance you have provided in any form.
