A second fire was reported to police shortly before 8:00 p.m. on October 14, 2022. A deceased person - whose identity has not been confirmed - was located inside a residence on Spruce Street in Denare Beach by Creighton Fire Department, who was already on scene. Creighton RCMP will continue to work with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to determine if the death is considered suspicious in nature – this has not been confirmed at this time.
