One person was injured after a fire broke out in a three-storey apartment building on Saturday.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said crews rushed to a blaze at an apartment building in the 200 block of Young Street at 4:05 p.m. and were able to put it out by 4:29 p.m.
The WFPS said smoke was coming from the building when they arrived but firefighters were able to go inside to battle the fire.
All residents were able to get out of the building on their own, but one was assessed by paramedics and taken to hospital in unstable condition.
No damage estimates or cause are known at this time. The building sustained fire, smoke and water damage.
The city’s emergency social services team is helping residents find a temporary place to stay.
