Just before 7 a.m. on Dec. 15, a house fire at 953 Main Street East saw three people escape the blaze.

“We got called just before 7 a.m. and when we rolled up the fire was already through the roof, pretty well the whole roof was on fire,” said Steinbach fire chief Kelvin Toews. “When we got there we were told that everyone was out of the house and so we took a defensive attack and extinguished the fire.”

The three people that were in the house were able to get out before the fire department arrived.
