A bathroom fan caught fire Friday afternoon in an apartment in Steinbach.

At 3:30, Steinbach fire crews were called to 98 Brandt Street for a possible structure fire.

"One of the bathroom fans heated up and started on fire," says Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Mike Penner. "Some debris from the fan dropped into a waste receptacle, (garbage can) catching that on fire. The tenant put a fire extinguisher on it and extinguished the fire."

Penner adds the fire was already out when they arrived so all they had to do was blow some smoke out of the building. He says there doesn't appear to be much damage aside from a little bit of smoke in the bathroom. There were no injuries.
