A state of emergency has been declared on a Saskatchewan First Nation after a fire extensively damaged the community’s water treatment plant on Monday night.

Fire crews responded to the blaze after members of the Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation -- about 80 kilometres east of Regina -- noticed billowing smoke and large flames coming from the plant.

Families who live near the treatment plant were asked to leave their homes immediately. The community’s local hall was opened to provide shelter to those displaced.

By Tuesday morning, the building structure had collapsed and the fire had mostly been put out. Fire crews told CTV Regina they were concerned about the toxic smoke from the facility's materials.

Councillor Shawn Spencer was unsure just how many homes were affected but told CTV Regina that the water treatment facility “does provide water to every home in the community.”

One of his fellow councilors, Scott Eashappie, said that residents now need potable water. “We were still getting calls 6 a.m. in the morning for more water,” he told CTV Regina. “We’re sitting on 200 bottles right now.”

Chief Brady Owatch said they were waiting on workers from the Red Cross to come into to drop off more bottled water.'

This is the second time a First Nations community in the region has had its water treatment plant damaged by fire in the past year.  Just 450 kilometres west from Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, the water plant in Piapot, Sask. burned down in October.
