A city spokesperson said fire crews responded to a call of a fire at a garage attached to a home at 12:11 p.m. Thursday. When crews arrived, flames had spread to the home.
No one was inside at the time.
Firefighters remained on scene after the fire was declared under control shortly before 3 p.m., due to a potential a gas leak.
A Manitoba Hydro spokesperson told CTV News the fire caused a small natural gas leak, but crews with the utility did not find any gas in other homes or sewers.
