Heavy fog mistaken for smoke: Prince Albert Fire Department

Sep 13, 2019 | 11:29 AM

It was an ominous start to Friday the 13th.

A large portion of Saskatchewan was cloaked in a very dense fog. This might have been the reason the Prince Albert Fire Department was called out on a case of ‘mist-aken’ identity.

At around 1:30 a.m. Sept. 13, crews responded to the area of Central Avenue and Marquis Road to investigate reported smoke in the area.

After crews searched the area and found no evidence of smoke or fire, they determined the blanketing fog was the culprit of the call.

Environment Canada issued a fog advisory for P.A. and area. As of 9:28 a.m. it was lifted.
