Early morning fire destroys Saskatoon home
CBC
Fire destroyed a home in Saskatoon early Sunday morning, but the occupants heard the smoke alarm and everyone got out alive.
The city fire department said the call came in around 5:13 a.m. CST with a report of a fire in a furnace room of a home on the 300 block of 109th St. W.
When crews arrived, heavy smoke and flames were showing from the basement. The fire spread to the main floor and the roof.
A ladder truck was brought in and its crew poured water from above. A power line was down in the backyard.
The occupants are all accounted for. There's not word yet on a possible cause.
The fire department said it would provide an update later.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
