The Saskatoon Fire Department was called out Easter Sunday to a house on fire in the 200 block of Edgemont Crescent in Corman Park. When crews arrived there was smoke coming from the structure and flames were visible.

The blaze had started in the basement and a burned a hole through the main floor at the rear of the house. Natural gas was shut off and water supply was established so firefighters could go inside and attack the fire from the interior.

The fireplace on the main floor had fallen into the basement due to the integrity of the building being compromised by fire. Because it is in Corman Park, there isn’t necessarily a hydrant on every corner and a Saskatoon Fire Department water tank was shuttling water to the scene.

The fire was called in at 3:16 p.m. and brought under control at 4:40 p.m.

A fire investigator from the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) will be conducting the scene examination to determine cause, origin and damage. No one was injured in the fire.
