Three people were assessed by paramedics at the scene of an Elgin Avenue house fire Wednesday morning but didn’t need to be taken to hospital, Winnipeg firefighters say.
Fire crews were called to the 600 block of Elgin just before 8 a.m., where they found heavy smoke and flames coming out of the house. The blaze was declared under control in two-and-a-half hours. The cause remains under investigation.
