The house at 679 Pritchard Ave. caught fire at about 7:30 p.m. and spread to 681 Pritchard Ave.

“A defensive attack was launched until it was safe enough to have crews enter both homes to finish fighting the fire. The fire was declared under control at approximately 7:53 p.m.,” said the city.

Inside one of the homes firefighters found two kittens and Winnipeg Animal Services were called to care for the pair.

There were no injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

The home previously caught fire in December of 2018 and again in June of this year.
