At approximately 11:20 A.M. August 24, 2019 the Saskatoon Fire Department received multiple 911 calls reporting a garage fire at 2413 Albert Ave. Three engines, 1 aerial, 1 heavy rescue and a battalion chief responded to the scene. Heavy thick black smoke was reported as visible by the responding units during their response.

The garage roof collapsed into the garage during the fire. Fire crews had the fire under control in 27 minutes.
There were no injuries as a result of this fire, a Fire Investigator is on scene. At this time the cause of the fire has not been determined and a damage estimate is not available yet.
