Accidental fire breaks out in Winnipegs St. Johns neighbourhood [Video]

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) crews say a house fire in the 400 block of Atlantic Avenue was most likely accidental.

According to a news release, the blaze broke out Sunday afternoon around 2:25 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the one-and-a-half storey building. Using hose lines, they managed to get the fire under control just before 3 p.m.

Those living inside the home managed to get out before crews arrived. Paramedics assessed one person on-scene, but they weren’t taken to the hospital. No one else was injured.
