Redwood Avenue home a total loss after fire; no injuries

No injuries were reported, but a home in the 1000 block of Redwood Avenue is considered a total loss following a fire Tuesday night.

Calls to the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service came in just after 11 p.m. When crews arrived on scene, they found the one-storey home immersed in flames and smoke.

Firefighters worked the blaze from outside due to unsafe conditions in the home while protecting neighbouring properties, which were evacuated as a precaution.

The fire was declared under control roughly 40-minutes later and the home sustained heavy damage due to smoke, fire and water as a result of firefighting efforts.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
