Damage was minimal after a fire in Winnipegosis Friday night.

Winnipegosis Fire Department was called to the scene just before 8 o’clock Friday night.

They were met by people that were in the building at the time who directed them to the location of the fire.

The fire, which was reportedly started by a faulty electrical heating appliance, was put out quickly by occupants of the building before the fire department arrived.

No injuries were reported.

Fire officials say working smoke detectors and fire alarms, as well as the presence of a fire extinguisher, kept the fire from becoming a major catastrophe.
