The occupants of a home in Whyte Ridge that caught fire early Thursday managed to escape to safety, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service says.

Fire crews were called to the two-storey house on the first 100 block of Hammersmith Road at 1:21 a.m., where they found smoke and flames coming from the structure.

Firefighters attacked the blaze from the outside, protecting nearby homes, before going inside to finish the work. Crews got the fire under control in just over an hour, WFPS says.

The WFPS is still investigating the cause of the fire.
