Winnipeg, MB – At 12:12 p.m. on Thursday, April 7, 2022 the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in a two-storey multi-family residential building in the 0-100 block of Euclid Avenue.
Once crews arrived on-scene, they encountered smoke coming from a suite in the building. They launched an offensive attack, quickly extinguishing the fire and declaring it under control at 12:27 p.m..
Two occupants of the fire suite self-evacuated prior to crew arrival. Occupants of neighbouring units also self-evacuated and were able to return to their suites once conditions improved.
Paramedics assessed two patients on-scene. One was transported to hospital in unstable condition, and the other was transported in stable condition. No other injuries were reported.
Fire damage was contained to the suite of origin, with no extension to neighbouring units. The cause of the fire is under investigation and no damage estimates are available at this time.
