Two suspicious fires in Saskatoon on Sunday morning are being investigated.

The first was reported about 3:30 a.m. when a burning vehicle was found in the 2100 block of Louise Street.

The fire department extinguished the fire, which caused damage to the two vehicles parked next to it.

The second vehicle fire happened around 7:45 a.m. in the 3000 block of Clarence Avenue. Saskatoon police found that the vehicle had been stolen from a home in the 2700 block of Cumberland Avenue.

If you think cruising through ruts is hard in your vehicle, imagine doing it in a fire truck.

As some cars are forced to park on the outside of giant snow banks, narrow streets are posing a problem for Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services.

“We do have some issues the way some people are parking or have to park. The trucks do have some trouble negotiating down the streets because it is so narrow,” said Assistant Fire Chief Bill Coffin. 

Crews looking for a man who went missing in the river have expanded their search area.

Battalion Chief Craig Young said firefighters who began looking yesterday afternoon for the 60 year-old man have now exhausted the original area where they believe he went into the water.

They have asked police to use their plane to scan the area, and have got a boat looking for the man further downstream.

Strong currents make it hard to determine where the man may have ended up. 

A Regina woman is in hospital this morning with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to 80-per cent of her body, after her clothing caught on fire while she was cooking dinner.

The call sent fire crews racing to her home on Jameson Crescent in the Windsor Park area around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

“We advise people when they are cooking – to avoid loose clothing because it is susceptible to dangle down and touch the burner or hot oil,” explained Deputy Fire Chief Gerard Kay.

He says there was minimal damage to the woman’s home and she is currently recovering in hospital.

A three-year-old boy is believed dead after a fire in the Esterhazy area.

Around 7 p.m. on Thursday evening RCMP were called to a home in the Rural Municipality of Grayson.

"That his grandson was believed to be inside (the home)," said Sgt. Curtis Pelzer.

Once police and fire arrived on scene, the house was full engulfed in flames, meaning they couldn't get inside to see if the boy was in fact in there, or if he was alive.

Police in Manitoba have found a man believed to be responsible for an arson fire in Regina.

Regina Police laid arson charges against 25-year-old Roland Bell. They allege that he started a fire at 900 Robinson Street last month.

Bell was arrested on the Sioux Valley First Nation, about 50 kilometres from Brandon.

He is only wanted for arson in the case of one fire. Investigators say the other two fires on Robinson Street that week are not connected.
