An apartment complex was destroyed by fire over the weekend.
Winnipegosis Fire Department was called about the blaze just after 1 pm on Saturday.
When they arrived they found the fire burning in one of the lower apartments, and with the assistance of RCMP evacuated the remaining residents in the complex, as well as nearby homes as a precaution as the fire quickly spread throughout the building.
Crews from the neighbouring Fork River and Meadow Portage fire departments were called in to help, as was some heavy equipment from the Mossey River Municipality in order to knock down the building to assist with fire extinguishing efforts,
Crews were on the scene until around 8:25 that evening putting out hot spots.
No injuries were reported.
The building is a complete loss, and the investigation into the cause is continuing, although it is believed the fire was accidental in nature.
