The Saskatoon Fire Department says no one was injured in a fire in the Queen Elizabeth neighbourhood on Saturday evening.

Crews were called to the house at 413 Isabella Street just before 7 p.m. on Saturday, with first on the scene reporting smoke and flames coming from two detached garages, according to a fire department news release.

The blaze pushed a thick blanket of smoke over the neighbouring homes as firefighters brought in multiple hose lines, the street smoldering orange in the late afternoon sun — a bookend to a day already rife with smoke from wildfires blown in from further northwest. Clusters of neighbours stood watching the scene from down the street.

The fire department said crews searched and found all occupants had safely evacuated the area and there were no injuries.

An investigator was unable to look into the cause of the fire due to the risk of structural collapse, the fire department said on Monday. It caused an estimated $100,000 in damage.
