One person was found dead inside a house following a fire Monday night in Winnipeg’s East Kildonan area.

Crews were called just before 8:30 p.m. to a 1½–storey house on Trent Avenue, between Brazier and Roch streets.

They found heavy smoke and flames coming from home but had it under control within 45 minutes, the city’s fire paramedic service said in a Tuesday morning news release.

Crews found the victim while searching the house after the fire was extinguished.

The person was declared dead at the scene. No information on the sex or age of the person was released.

The fire remains under investigation. Damage estimates are not available.
