Saskatoon hazmat concerns a false alarm

Saskatoon police and the fire department were out with the hazardous materials team to a home in the 200 block of Avenue K North Friday afternoon.

It has turned out to be a false alarm.

The call came around noon when the fire department was called over air quality concerns in the home, which contains several suites.

They found something that gave them concerns about possible hazardous chemicals inside one of the suites.

Saskatoon Police Service officers arrived at about 2:20 p.m., entered the home and determined there were no chemicals present.

At this time the Saskatoon Fire Department is conducting some follow up air quality tests.
