A house fire in an unoccupied home in Saskatoon caused $200,000 in damages on Wednesday.
The Saskatoon Fire Department responded to a call around 1:09 p.m. that a house was on fire in the 100 block of Avenue L South.
Fire crews didn’t find anyone in the home and brought the fire under control by 1:59 p.m.
The fire investigator and Saskatoon police arson investigator completed their probe and found the cause of the fire to be suspicious.
A second fire was found close to the home around 1:19 p.m. and diverted some of the fire crews from the house fire.
The second fire, found on the 1200 block of 22nd Street West, involved a dumpster burning in an alley.
After an investigation, that fire was also deemed suspicious and is under criminal investigation.
