Firefighters were dispatched to a fire at the Salvation Army Community Centre Monday night.
Crews from the No. 1 Fire Hall arrived at 339 Ave. C South at approximately 9:15 p.m, according to a Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services news release. They found a sprinkler in the building was activated from the fire. The firefighters evacuated the building, shut off the water supply to the sprinkler system and tried to minimize the water damage.
After the firefighters were finished, residents were allowed to return to the building.
No injuries occurred and the exact cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
Damage is estimated at $15,000.
Salvation Army spokesperson Capt. Tiffany Marshall said the fire was contained to a single residential room. The room itself and the ceiling tiles in the room directly below were affected by water damage. The fire will not affect any Salvation Army services, she said.
