Two people were taken to hospital after an overnight house fire in the 300 block of Manitoba Avenue.

The blaze started just before 4 a.m. in the 1.5-storey home, and while the residents were able to escape the fire, two were taken to hospital — one in unstable condition.

A cat also died in the fire, and two other cats that were believed to be in the home at the time haven’t been found.
