Saskatoon Fire Department received a 911 call at 1024 hours on November 26, 2020 reporting a multi-vehicle collision on the vicinity of Circle Drive and Airport Drive.  Dispatched to the scene were 3 engines, a rescue and a battalion chief.  On arrival the first engine reported three vehicles involved; a truck, a car, and a van which was on its side.

All occupants were already out of their vehicles and were assessed for injuries by firefighter/paramedics.  Fortunately there were no injuries.  Fire crews remained on scene to ensure no fire occurred while vehicles were towed away and assisted with cleaning up debris and spilled fluids.

The fire investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire.  We have learned the smoke alarms had been removed which caused a delay in evacuating the home and would have contributed to fire related injuries.

It is estimated this fire caused $50,000.00 damage.
