Improper use of a candle is likely to blame for an accidental fire at a four-unit residence on Dumoulin Street, Winnipeg firefighters say.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews were called to the scene just after 3 a.m. Thursday, where they found smoke inside the building. Firefighters were told a resident had been able to extinguish a fire in their suite.
One person was assessed by paramedics at the scene and sent to hospital in stable condition.
