'Considering the circumstances ... this is best-case scenario,' Cole Cusitar said.
The Saskatoon Fire Department had to deal with more than just flames while fighting a fire at Leisureland trailer park.
Crews fought off the stifling cold, a lack of available water and tight spaces as they battled the blaze that charred a mobile home in the trailer park located just south of the Queen Elizabeth Power Station near Valley Road.

Crews were dispatched around 10:20 a.m. and sent five trucks and a water tanker to the scene. With no place to draw water from, an additional water tanker was sent to assist in delivery.
A backhoe was also used to dismantle the home and allow crews to attack the fire in hidden and inaccessible parts of the mobile home.
There is no damage estimate or cause of the fire at this time.
