Crews put out two house fires Friday 

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews extinguished two fires in the North End on Friday.

Firefighters were sent to a house on the 900 block of Alfred Avenue at about 10 p.m. and declared the blaze there under control an hour later.

Earlier, firefighters were sent to a two-and-a-half storey home on the 500 block of Mountain Avenue shortly after 4:40 p.m. They declared the fire there under control at 6:15 p.m. The home’s residents evacuated before crews arrived, but a cat was found dead inside after the fire.

The causes of both fires are under investigation.
