Fire crews battle blaze in Transcona
4:43 PM
One person has been displaced from their home after a fire in Transcona.
Firefighters responded to reports of a house fire in the 100 block of Ralph Avenue East around 1:20 p.m. Saturday, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said in a release.
Crews found flames and heavy smoke billowing from the home. They attacked the blaze from inside, declaring it under control shortly before 2 p.m. Nobody was injured, WFPS said.
The City of Winnipeg’s emergency social services team is helping one person find temporary housing.
Firefighters believe the fire was accidentally caused by lithium-ion batteries, which were being charged, WFPS said.
