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.

WFPS said the fire was contained to a single suite and that no injuries were reported.

Residents of the block who were evacuated when the fire started were able to return to the building after the smoke was ventilated.

Damage estimates have not yet been reported.
