A homeowner on the outskirts of La Broquerie got home to find that his house was on fire.

La Broquerie Fire crews responded to a fire along the Steinbach/La Broquerie boundary line at 1:15 earlier this afternoon. Steinbach firefighters soon joined them at the residence located on Road 39E.

“We don’t have a lot of information right now,” says Steinbach RCMP Officer Constable Plaskett from on scene. “The homeowner came home and the house was filled with smoke.”

Plaskett confirms there were no injuries.

Once the blaze was under control, the Steinbach Fire Department took over from La Broquerie, as it fell within their district.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
