One dead in reserve house fire

One person is dead after a house fire in Northern Saskatchewan.

The fire was reported to RCMP yesterday at about 8 p.m. on the Canoe Lake Cree Nation, located about 250 kilometres north of Prince Albert.

After firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control, a body was discovered inside the home, said RCMP in a news release Friday.

The identity, gender and age of the person won’t be determined until an autopsy is preformed next week.

RCMP are working with a number of agencies on this investigation. There was no word as of Friday afternoon on the cause of the fire or on the extent of the damage.
