Investigators are continuing to look into the cause of a fire that started at a Glenelm home and quickly spread to two neighbouring homes.

The City of Winnipeg says in a release that the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was called to a fire that involved two homes on Cobourg Avenue around 6:40 a.m. on Wednesday.

Upon arrival on scene, crews found a two-storey house engulfed in flames with the fire extending to a neighbouring one-and-a-half storey house and another two-storey house. A garage at the rear of the property also had fire extension.
