Fire crews respond to blaze near Regina Beach

A Wednesday afternoon fire destroyed a home near Regina Beach across Last Mountain Lake.

Members of two fire departments were dispatched Wednesday after a fire was reported near the lakeside community of Regina Beach.

In a social media post, Lumsden Fire Department reported it had been dispatched around 1:30 p.m. to a structure fire in Kinookimaw – a hamlet located approximately 55 kilometres northwest of Regina.

The department was called in to support the Regina Beach Fire Department (RBFD) as was Saskatchewan’s RCMP Lumsden detachment.

In an email to CTV News, RCMP confirmed that it was called in for a residential garage fire around 12:50 p.m. and conducted traffic control.

No injuries were reported.

A photo submitted to CTV News shows a sizable pillar of black smoke rising from the Kinookimaw area.

Visiting the scene Thursday morning, CTV News can confirm the house involved in the fire was destroyed.

RBFD is investigating the cause of the fire.
