Crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to nearby homes.

“I came around the back to do a 360 scene site evaluation and I came across the tenant who had self evacuated earlier with four other children,” said Morris Semkowski, acting platoon chief with the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Damage to the home is estimated at $180,000.
