A fire broke out early in the afternoon on April 30th at an apartment building on Tremauden Avenue in The Pas.

 

The Pas Fire Department responded to the report at approximately 1 pm.

 

A structure spread to the attic of the building, causing smoke and water damage.

 

The initial fire was put out quickly, but the attic space sustained extensive damage, which took several man-hours to contain.

 

One person was taken to hospital as a precaution due to smoke inhalation.

 

During this time, the fire department also received a report of a grass fire in the carrot valley and two fire alarms in town.

 

All these calls were promptly taken care of with help from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation Fire Department.
