At approximately 4:40pm on Thursday, October 23, the Martensville Fire Department (MFD) responded to a report of a structure fire in the 100 block of Main Street. Crews arrived on scene with two pumper trucks and additional support apparatus to find a four-plex condominium fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters quickly confirmed that all residents had safely evacuated the building before initiating fire suppression efforts. Despite the intense conditions, crews were able to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to a nearby home and detached garage.
All four condominium units sustained significant damage as a result of the blaze. The fire was declared under control by 5:50pm, though firefighters remained on scene for an extended period due to a natural gas leak at the site.
One person sustained minor injuries during evacuation efforts. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. Despite extensive searches conducted by fire personnel, two pets remain unaccounted for following the incident.
An investigation into the cause of the fire was conducted the following day, though the exact cause remains undetermined at this time.
The Martensville Fire Department was assisted by several partner agencies, including the Warman Fire Department, Martensville/Warman RCMP, SaskPower, SaskEnergy, City of Martensville Public Works, and Medavie Health Services West.
