Early morning fire in Kenora

Fire crews have brought a blaze in downtown Kenora under control.

The fire broke out just before 3:00 this morning to an older home on 3rd Street
South.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says it didn't take long for the fire to take hold and make its
way quickly into the attic area.

All available fire trucks are on the scene, and Brinkman says they are just dealing with a couple of
hot spots.
The house had a number of rental units inside, but Brinkman says its unclear at this time where
the fire might have started.

All 10 people living inside the building managed to escape.
