An electric heater left too close to curtains was the cause of an apartment fire that caused $2 million damage.
Two firefighters suffered minor burns while battling a blaze that started about 2:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Golden Arms apartment block in south St. Vital. A couple of tenants at the building on St. Michael Road just north of Bishop Grandin suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to hospital.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service platoon chief Murray Rougeau said the cause of the fire was an electric heater left near curtains in a fourth-floor suite. Some tenants were able to access their suites yesterday but it's not clear when they will be able to return home for good.
