Last night, the Dauphin Fire Department responded to a call of a house fire on 5th Avenue S.W.
Upon arrival, the fire crew found the two-story home completely engulfed in flames.
It took firefighters approximately an hour to bring the fire under control, but due to the age of the home and magnitude of the fire, the house was a total loss.
No one was in the home at the time of the blaze, therefore there were no injuries and initially neighbours reported the incident to 911.
After an investigation, it’s been determined that the fire started in the basement and was electrical in nature.
