No human injuries occured, but a home in the RM of Dauphin is a total loss as a result of a fire yesterday afternoon around 3:30.
When firefighters from the Dauphin Fire Department arrived, they found the home completely ablaze with one of the walls and a portion of the roof collapsed. The intense flames, combined with the instability of the structure meant fire crews had to take on the fire from outside. Within an hour, firefighters had things under control.
No one was home at the time, except for a few pets who unfortunately didn't escape. While the fire isn't suspicious in nature, the cause of it is under investigation due to the structural state of the home and an accumulation of ice.
