The scene has been cleared and road restrictions are no longer in place. Graders and front-end loaders were also spotted on scene to clear the streets for emergency crews following a massive snowstorm.

Members of the Major Crimes Unit and Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service is continuing to investigate.

See below the original story:

—

Fire crews had to plow their way through the heavy snow on Wednesday morning to put out a house fire in the East Hill neighbourhood. 

Police had a number of roads blocked off in the 100 Block of 18th Street East to allow for graders and front-end loaders to clear the streets for emergency crews, as the fire tore through the house and appeared to have caused the roof to collapse. 

Prior to that, fire crews were seen trying to extinguish the blaze via a second-story window. It is unknown if anyone was inside the home at the time or if there are any injuries. 

Police said traffic restrictions remain in place and residents are asked to avoid the area at this time. 

More information will be added as it becomes available.
