Structure Fire - Stanley Place
At 6:10 a.m. on June 6, 2023, the Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) received a report of a garage on fire off the alley behind Stanley Place. Three fire engines, one ladder truck, one rescue unit and the Battalion Chief were dispatched. First arriving fire crews reported flames visible from a detached garage. All incoming fire crews were assigned their tactical duties. The fire was quickly brought under control at 6:20 a.m. Our Fire Investigator was requested to attend.
The property had been closed for occupancy by the SFD on January 17, 2023. The house and garage were vacant and secured at the time of this fire. Repair orders were issued by the SFD at the time of the closure.
Fire Investigator has concluded our cause and origin examination. Cause of the fire is suspicious. Fire originated on the exterior of the garage along the overhead door. Damage is estimated at $10,000. Structure was turned over to a representative for the property to re-secure. SFD will continue in its process with the current orders.
