A three-storey apartment block caught on fire early Thursday morning in Winnipeg’s West End, and the cause is still unknown.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) said it responded to a call at 5:57 a.m. in the 700 block of Sargent Avenue.
Smoke and flames were coming out of the building when firefighters arrived, but the situation was declared under control less than half an hour later.
