No one was injured following a fire early Thursday morning in Winnipeg's Earl Grey neighbourhood.

Shortly after 1 a.m. today, a blaze broke out in a one and a half storey single family home in the 800 block of Dudley Avenue.

Smoke was coming from the home when crews arrived. Firefighters used a fire suppression tool that generates a mist to suppress the flames and reduce temperatures, allowing for safer access for crews. 

This allowed firefighters to enter the home and fight the fire from inside. It took about half an hour to get it under control.

Everyone from the house was able to evacuate safely before crews arrived. No injuries were reported. 

It's believed the fire was accidental, caused by an electrical failure in a light. 

Fire officials continue to investigate.
