SASKATOON – More than thirty firefighters are on scene at a large blaze at a warehouse in the Sutherland Industrial neighbourhood.

On arrival, fire crews found flames shooting out of the building in the 100-block of 105th Avenue, and smoke could be seen billowing into the sky from several miles away.

A second alarm was sounded one minute after the first crews arrived at the scene.

The fire started just after 4 p.m. Due to the extent of the blaze, crews were initially unable to enter the warehouse and instead set up a defensive attack to defend nearby buildings.

Playful Paws Pet Center had to evacuate animals that were in their care.

No injuries have been reported at this time.
