Fire claims two cabins at Emma Lake

The cause of a weekend fire that destroyed a pair of cabins in the Emma Lake area remains under investigation; however, several sources close to the incident believe it was electrical in nature.

The Lakeland and District Volunteer Fire Department confirmed there were no injuries reported.

On Saturday, at approximately 7:45 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to the scene 14 kilometres west of Christopher Lake. Buckland Fire and Rescue was also called and provided mutual aid with water supply.

Crews were successful in preventing the spread of the fire to other surrounding cabins. Once crews were able to control the blaze and eventually able to extinguish it, SaskPower and SaskEnergy were called in to shut off utilities.
