Residents of a Winnipeg apartment have been displaced after the three-storey building was evacuated due to a fire early Sunday, the city says.
Crews responded to reports of a fire at a three-storey apartment building on Ellice Avenue shortly after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, the city said in a news release.
Heavy smoke and flames were seen coming from the apartment building when first responders arrived.
They fought the fire from inside of the building, and it was declared under control around 2:30 a.m., the city says.
Everyone inside of the building got out safely and no injuries were reported.
The city says its emergency social services team helped displaced residents find temporary housing.
The fire is being investigated. Damage estimates are not yet available.
