There have been almost a dozen fires in a week that the Saskatoon Fire Department have put out but the call Sunday night was actually to deal with a large sign on a downtown building which had become precariously loose.

It was the First Nations Bank on 4th Avenue South just off 20th Street and the building operator actually called it in saying the large commercial backlit sign had become unfastened from the building and was hanging dangerously over the sidewalk below.

A technical rescue team repelled down the side of the building removing one piece of the sign and securing a second piece. This entire event got underway just before 8 p.m. Sunday night and wrapped up before 10 p.m. and during the process traffic and pedestrian traffic was restricted in the area.
