Dauphin Fire Department was kept busy overnight responding to a pair of calls.
At around 11:30 last night, crews were called to a vehicle fire north of the city near Highway 362. They found an abandoned vehicle fully engulfed in flames. RCMP is investigating this matter.
Then at around 3 am, they responded to a report of a structure fire on 6th Avenue South East.
The back part of the home was on fire when crews arrived, and they stayed on the scene for several hours to make sure the fire was completely out.
They add due to the age of the construction of the home, the wood shaving insulation allowed the fire to spread throughout the inside of the walls.
Fortunately, all of the occupants in the home were able to escape safely.
An investigation into the cause of this fire is underway.
