Small Fire at Lawson Heights Mall

Just before midnight the Saskatoon Fire Department received a call from an alarm company indicating that a Fire Alarm had been activated at the Lawson Heights Mall located at 134 Primrose Drive. 

Three Fire Engines, one Aerial Ladder Truck, one Battalion Chief and a Fire Investigation Unit were dispatched to the incident.

The first arriving apparatus notice water flowing from the building and heard the audible alarm bells sounding. Upon investigation fire crews quickly determined that the water flow was originating from the Urban Trail store front located inside the mall. The ladder company forced entry into the store through an exterior door located at the rear of the business. Fire crews found a small fire that had been extinguished by the buildings sprinkler system. Firefighters remained on scene to perform overhaul duties to ensure the fire had been completely extinguished and carry out salvage operations to help minimize water damage to the adjoining businesses.

There were no injuries as a result of this incident. A Fire Investigator is on scene working to determine a cause of the fire and a damage estimate.
