Black smoke, flames reported northwest of Saskatoon

Thick black smoke and flames were visible northwest of Saskatoon along Highway 16 Wednesday morning.

“Really black smoke, you can see the flames from the highways,” said a driver who was coming in from Dalmeny around 6:45 a.m.

CKOM traffic reporter Jay Thomas also saw big plumes of smoke in the area, but said by 7 a.m. the flames were no longer visible.  

He said emergency crews were the scene, which appears to be off the highway and in what looks like an acreage.
