The fire department said crews then initiated an aggressive attack on the fire inside the home, while another crew searched for people.
No one was inside at the time, and no injuries were reported.
Crews continued to fight the blaze, primarily in the roof and attic area. The fire was deemed under control around 4:30 a.m.
While the cause is still to be determined, the fire investigation found the circumstances to be suspicious. The investigation will continue with assistance from Saskatoon police.
The preliminary damage estimate is $250,000.
