A house fire in the 21-hundred block of Coy Avenue destroyed a home in Saskatoon’s Exhibition neighbourhood.  The call came in at 4:24 a.m. and when fire crews arrived on scene the rear of the bungalow was fully involved in fire.

Saskatoon Light and Power and SaskEnergy shut down the utilities and the roof of the home became fully involved in fire by 4:50 a.m.. By 5:30 this morning the rear peak of the roof collapsed into the building. Fire crews then directed their energy and efforts to protecting exposures and extinguishing the fire from a distance.

The fire scene was turned over to an investigator at 7:14 a.m. A cause and origin for the fire will be released when the investigation is complete.
