Investigation Concluded into Fatal Carbon Monoxide Incident Boiler Manufacturer Issued Important Safety Notice
Regina Fire & Protective Services (RFPS) has concluded its investigation into the fatal carbon monoxide incident that occurred at 1827 Albert Street on December 19, 2025.
“The investigation was completed in coordination with technical experts from the Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK),” said Regina Fire Chief Layne Jackson. “The investigation findings determined that the incident was caused by a malfunction of a commercial boiler, which experienced a delayed ignition and explosion, resulting in the release of carbon monoxide.”
The boiler involved was identified as an NTI FTG 2000, 2,000,000 BTU natural gas-fired boiler. The manufacturer has since issued an Important Safety Notice for this specific model.
RFPS reminds residents and business owners of the importance of proper maintenance of fuel- fired appliances and the use of working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to keep residents safe.
It’s also important to ensure all mechanical equipment is operating properly and performing as designed.
