Investigators have yet to determine the cause of a house fire that caused an estimated $150,000 in damage.

Several fire crews from the Saskatoon Fire Department and police were called to the Silverwood Heights neighbourhood at around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Homeowner Blair Daviduke told Global News firefighters found a small fire in the basement of his home in the 100 block of Stechishin Crescent.

He said no one was home at the time, so no one was hurt.
