The cause of a fire in Silverwood Heights that caused an estimated $50,000 damage to two homes remains under investigation.
Firefighters were called to Verbeke Court just after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday for a report of a house fire, the Saskatoon Fire Department said.
A neighbour used a garden hose prior to firefighters arriving to prevent the fire from spreading, fire department officials said.

The majority of the damage was limited to the exterior of the garage, along with a home next door that sustained exterior damage due to its proximity to the heat and flames, the fire department said.
