Firefighters douse Elgin Avenue blaze

Winnipeg firefighters doused a blaze in an Elgin Avenue house early Friday morning.

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews, first alerted by Downtown Community Safety Partnership patrollers, were called to a fire that broke out just before 1 a.m. in a one-and-a-half-storey house on the 400 block of Elgin.

Firefighters found smoke and flames coming from the house when they arrived, but the crews managed to get the fire under control by about 1:40 a.m.

Firefighters searched the house and found no one inside. No one was reported hurt.
