Firefighters rushed to two fires that were called in nearly simultaneously early Monday.

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews first went to a two-storey multi-family home on the 300 block of Boyd Avenue at about 3:05 a.m., where they found smoke and flames coming from the building. Firefighters had doused the blaze by 3:37 a.m.

The building’s residents fled before crews arrived. None were hurt, and city social workers went to the scene to assist them.

At about 3:06 a.m., other crews were called to a two-storey commercial building on the 600 block of Broadway, where they attacked flames and smoke, getting the blaze under control by shortly before 4 a.m. No one was inside at the time.
