A house fire in Winnipeg’s North Point Douglas neighbourhood is causing Friday morning road closures in the area.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was first called to the blaze in the 100 block of Euclid Avenue just before 5 a.m.

When they arrived, they responded to a “well-involved” fire with heavy flames and smoke. Firefighters switched between offensive and defensive tactics as conditions changed. Two neighbouring homes were evacuated as a precaution.

Images from the scene show crews working to extinguish the fire, as well as damage to the exterior of the home.

A Winnipeg Transit bus was called to the scene to help provide temporary shelter to people in the homes. No injuries were reported.

Drivers are being asked to avoid the area as crews are expected to be on scene throughout the morning.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
