Late Night Garage Fire

At 11:11 pm the Saskatoon Fire Department began receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a fire in the 800 block of 9^th Ave North.  Three fire engines, one rescue unit, one aerial ladder truck, one fire investigation unit, and one battalion chief were dispatched for response. The first fire crews were on scene 3 minutes and 13 seconds after leaving the fire station and observed flames between two houses.

First arriving fire crews observed a detach garage with fire burning through the roof.  Using a chain saw to breach the overhead garage door, crews applied water into the building.  A downed power line necessitated extra precautions while working to extinguish the fire.

There were no injuries as a result of this fire.  A fire investigator is on scene to determine fire cause and damage estimates.
