For the second time in a year, Saskatoon firefighters had to deal with a fire at the same house on 8th Street East.
Crews called to the two-storey home at 528 8th St. East at around 5 a.m. Friday arrived to find smoke and flame coming from the back of boarded-up house.
The structure was deemed unstable and an exterior attack was started to bring the fire under control.
Firefighters continued to deal with hotspots and concluded a search of the building.
No injuries have been reported.
Damage is estimated at $250,000 and a Saskatoon Fire Department investigator was unable to determine a cause.
A fire at the same home last September caused $150,000 in damage.
