Multiple tenants in an 18-story apartment building were forced to evacuate shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday after a suite on the third floor caught fire.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service worked in just under half an hour to put out the fire and was able to contain the fire to the suite where it originated.
Surrounding suites suffered water and smoke damage, but no one in the building needed hospital treatment.
Winnipeg’s Emergency Social Services are arranging for temporary housing, but most of the tenants are expected to return home today.
No damage estimates are available and the investigation continues.
