A malfunctioning electrical extension cord sparked a fire at a home in Silverwood Heights, according to investigators.
The Saskatoon Fire Department said a number of 911 calls came in just before 3 p.m. Sunday, reporting flames coming from an attached garage in the 200 block of Gathercole Crescent.
Firefighters advanced hoses to the attached garage to knock down flames, which extended into the roof, the fire department said.
