The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to two separate structure fires Thursday evening, with no injuries reported in either incident.
At 4:58 p.m., firefighters were called to a house fire in the 500 block of Young Street. Crews encountered heavy flames and smoke and brought the fire under control by 5:38 p.m. All occupants had exited the home before crews arrived.
Shortly after, firefighters responded to a townhouse fire in the 100 block of Snow Street. Heavy black smoke and flames were visible when crews arrived. The fire was under control by 5:47 p.m.
Residents of the affected unit had evacuated safely, and neighbouring homes were cleared as a precaution.
Both fires remain under investigation. No damage estimates have been released.
