Saskatoon Fire dispatched three fire engines, one ladder truck and the Battalion Chief and when they first arrived they found smoke coming from the back of the home in the 400 Block 9th Street East.
When fire crews arrived they noticed smoke in the back of the home.
Once they got into the house firefighters were challenged with a large amount of combustible material but, once they got into the living room they were able to extinguish the fire.
In a statement by Saskatoon Fire, there was an excessive amount of fire load.
No one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is believed to be an unattended candle in the living room.
