On June 15, 2024 just before 8 p.m., Battlefords RCMP received a report of a house fire on the 900 block of 105 Street in North Battleford.
Officers assisted at the scene.
The fire was investigated by the North Battleford Fire Department. On June 17, firefighters located human remains at the site of the fire.
Fire investigators with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) are now investigating the cause and origin of the fire. The cause of both the individual’s death and the fire have not been established. The Saskatchewan Coroners Service will be conducting an autopsy on the deceased, and will work to identify them.
Battlefords RCMP continues to monitor the file. If the SPSA or Saskatchewan Coroners Service determines criminality is involved, police will take over that portion of the investigation.
Please note that Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes is NOT currently investigating this fire, as indicated in previous reports.
As this is not currently a police investigation, we have no further information to provide at this time.
