A significant fire that occurred south of Estevan Tuesday night consumed a house.
The Estevan Fire Rescue Service (EFRS) received a call at about 11:30 p.m. after the homeowners called into 911. It was reported that a structure was on fire and crews immediately headed out.
"Upon arrival, we found a fully involved structure, it was a house out on an acreage, acreage-farm set up," said Estevan Deputy Chief Rick Davies.
All occupants made it out of the aflame house upon firefighters' arrival.
Crews spent about six hours extinguishing the fire and had to come back to the scene the next day for about two more hours to ensure all hot spots and smouldering areas were neutralized as well.
Neither occupants nor firefighters sustained any injuries. However, homeowners confirmed that a small family dog didn't make it out of the fire.
"The house is the total loss," said Davies.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
"We are currently working with the investigators that are checking into that," said Davies.
