Regina house fire claims life of woman, baby boy

Icicles hang from a Regina home where fire crews battled a blaze that claimed the lives of two people early Tuesday morning.

Regina Fire & Protective Services were called to 1945 Winnipeg Street at 1:47 a.m.

Someone passing by the home had spotted the fire and pulled out a woman and a baby boy. Both were taken to hospital and died as a result of their injuries from the fire.

Deputy fire chief Gerard Kay said an investigator will have to figure out what caused the fire.

“The house is going to be a total write off,” Kay said. “The entire roof system has collapsed into the home itself.”
