Roughriders put yule log on stadium video - 4 people call fire dept

For weeks, the cheery image of the burning log was displayed on the video scoreboard at the Saskatchewan Roughriders home venue west of the downtown.  The flaming log was also shown on banner screens across the stands.

The problem was, from a distance some people thought the stadium was on fire — there have been four frantic calls to 911 in the past few weeks.

Deputy fire chief Gerard Kay said the callers were very descriptive, reporting "a very bright flame. In some cases the smell of smoke."

Trying to snuff out the false alarms, Kay said he called around to get the log video replaced.  The Roughriders organization, which is in charge of what appears on the TVs, got the message.

Yule-ive and Yule-earn.
