Saskatoon home completely destroyed in weekend fire
Saskatoon fire crews were on scene of a fiery incident early Sunday morning.
Crews responded to the 100 block of Avenue V South at around 8:40 a.m.
Arriving on the scene, firefighters observed smoke coming from a house with plywood covering its windows.
Crews advanced on the home, using multiple hoses to apply water to the exterior, according to a news release from the City of Saskatoon.
A chainsaw was used to cut plywood off the doors and windows of the home.
The fire was eventually brought under control.
A fire investigator did attend the scene and will work to identify the cause and origin of the fire as well as an estimate on the damages caused.
