The fire affected nearby powerlines, so SaskPower and SaskEnergy arrived to shut the power off.

The damage caused by the blaze is about $200,000 and the house has since been blocked off for investigation, police said.

The cause of the fire is unknown, but anyone with information is asked to contact MJPS or crime stoppers
