At approximately 12:31 p.m. on April 17, 2020, the Saskatoon Fire Department received a request for assistance from the Saskatoon Police Service to recover evidence that had been discarded on the roof of a structure.
One aerial ladder truck was dispatched to the 400 block of Queen Street to prepare a plan of action for retrieval. Upon discussion with police officers on scene, it was decided that hooked roof ladders would be the safest and most efficient method to access the roof.
Firefighters recovered one firearm from the roof of the structure and transferred possession to the Saskatoon Police Service.
The fire crew has since returned to their station to continue serving Saskatoon.
