One person was taken to the hospital on Tuesday evening following an apartment building fire in Winnipeg’s West End.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was first called to the blaze in the 400 block of Sherbrook Street just after 6:50 p.m.

Once at the scene, firefighters discovered smoke and flames coming from the three-storey building and launched an interior attack. Paramedics assessed and took one person to the hospital in unstable condition. All other residents got out safely.

The fire, which was declared under control by 7:20 p.m., is being investigated. There are no damage estimates at this time, though preliminary observations suggest the blaze was contained to the suite of origin.
