SASKATOON – The Saskatoon Fire Department received multiple calls of a garage fire in the Arbour Creek neighbourhood at around 3:40 p.m. Saturday. First responders arrived at 130 Eastman Cove to find black smoke coming from the structure.
Crews heard the lone occupant had evacuated the building prior to their arrival. A search of the two-storey home was done to confirm no one remained inside.
