House fire in Regina claims a life

May 9, 2011 | 10:36 AM

A house fire in Regina's north end Monday morning has claimed the life of one of the people living in the home.

Fire crews responded to the home on the corner of Broad Street and Thrid Avenue North. They battled the fire while trying to rescue the resident. Another person living in the home was apparently outside mowing the lawn when the blaze broke out and was not hurt.

Investigators have the area taped off and the coroner is part of the investigation.

For the time being the north-bound lanes of Broad Street are closed near Seventh Avenue North.
