Residential Appliance Fire - 1800 block of 22nd Street West

At around 1:37 p.m. on August 27, 2020, the Saskatoon Fire Department received a 911 call reporting an oven on fire in one of the units within a multi-unit apartment building. Three fire engines, one rescue unit, one aerial ladder truck, and one battalion chief were dispatched for response.

Arriving on scene in less than three minutes, firefighters located an extinguished fire that had been contained to the oven; it was reported that a neighbouring occupant in the apartment building used a fire extinguisher to successfully put out the fire prior ot the arrival of fire crews. Firefighters confirmed there to be no further extension beyond the oven; they then established ventilation to clear the building of remaining smoke and minimal levels of carbon monoxide.

Fire crews left the scene with a building manager and have since returned to their stations to continue serving Saskatoon and area.
