The Saskatoon Fire Department said it was alerted to a possible structure fire in the 100 block of Girgulis Crescent just before 10 a.m.
The caller said smoke was filling the house and a woman and a boy had evacuated, fire officials said. There were still pets inside, the caller told the fire department.

Firefighters said smoke was coming from the house when they arrived, and they could feel “heavy heat.”
An exterior attack was started, and utilities were cut to the house.
Crews then entered the house, where they located the fire in a bedroom, adding that it had spread to a bathroom, fire officials said.
