One person is dead and three others sent to hospital after two separate fires in Winnipeg’s inner city between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. <\/p>\n

Firefighters responded to a report of a fire at a two-storey apartment building on Ross Avenue, between Ellen and Isabel streets, shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Friday, the city said in a news release. <\/p>\n

Heavy black smoke was coming from the building when crews arrived, the city said. Firefighters attacked the blaze from inside and got the fire under control just before 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Crews found the body of one person in the suite where the fire started. No other injuries were reported and damage estimates aren’t available. <\/p>\n

The fire is still under investigation by Winnipeg fire officials and police, the release says. <\/p>\n

Several hours later, firefighters responded to a fire at a two-storey house on Flora Avenue, between Powers and McGregor streets, at 3:14 a.m. on Saturday, the city says in the same release. <\/p>\n
