A central Saskatoon parking garage flooded Wednesday night after a water main broke, the fire department said.
One fire engine was dispatched at about 9:50 p.m. to an apartment complex in the 400 block of Avenue C South following reports that water was flowing into the garage.
When the crew arrived, an evacuation was in progress, as “a significant amount of water” came into the parking garage, the Saskatoon Fire Department said in a news release.
