Just after five o’clock Saturday afternoon, the Saskatoon Fire Department responded to a small house fire in the 100 block of Avenue M South after some reported seeing smoke inside a house. The caller didn’t know if anyone was home at the time. Once crews arrived, they found a fire in a bedroom and the laundry room with water present. The investigation determined the blaze was caused by smoking material catching combustibles on fire when the person inside fell asleep. The occupant then used water to extinguish the fire. The smoke alarm was missing and fire crews installed one before leaving. Damage is estimated at $2,000 dollars.
