At approximately 1:55 this afternoon, the Saskatoon Fire Department received a 911 call reporting a possible house on fire at 124 Avenue S South. 

Three Fire Engines, one Heavy Rescue Unit, one Aerial Ladder Truck, one Fire Investigation Unit, and one Battalion Chief were dispatched to the scene. 

The first arriving fire crew confirmed that smoke was visibly exiting through the front of the house. Immediately, an offensive attack was initiated and an attack group entered the house through the front door. Fire crews battled intense heat and heavy smoke during firefighting efforts. Firefighters shut down the gas line to the house, and utility technicians were requested to disconnect remaining utilities. Additional fire crews forced entry through the back door to encourage ventilation of the smoke-filled house. The fire was brought under control within approximately 30 minutes of the first fire crew arriving on scene. Electric fans were used to ventilate remaining smoke from the house. 

There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident. A Fire Investigator is on scene working to determine a cause and damage estimate.
