Just before 2am on February 19, 2013, Central Plains RCMP responded to a house fire on Old Bridge Road in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
RCMP report that when members arrived at the location, they noted that Portage Emergency Services were already on the scene. The Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire, however, the single family residence suffered a total loss.
Police say that the sole homeowner was able to escape from the home and contact emergency services. She was transported to hospital with undetermined injuries.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
