Just over a week after an accidental blaze tore through one of his houses, which health inspectors had previously deemed unfit for human habitation, Jagdish (Jack) Grover said he’s considering selling all of his rental properties.

“I’m trying to sell them,” the 76-year-old told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix on Monday. “I’ve done enough. (I want) to get out, to take some rest and travel.”

Grover declined to reveal how many properties he owns, but said the Oct. 28 fire left him in financial trouble. The Avenue F South house was not insured, and the damage is expected to cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to repair, he said.

The fire department received a 911 call from someone who reported smoke coming from the boarded-up house around 7:20 a.m. After searching inside and finding no one, crews turned off power and gas service before extinguishing the blaze.

Investigators concluded that the fire began in an exterior wall after electrical wiring was “compromised” and ignited nearby combustible material. The fire department said the exact cause of the failure could not be determined and estimated the damages at $150,000.
