The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a house fire on Saturday just after 6 a.m.

When crews arrived at the 300 block of Alfred Avenue they found heavy flames and smoke coming from the home.

Crews used aerial ladders to launch a defensive attack and to protect neighbouring homes from the spread of flames.
