Winnipeg fire crews were kept busy Friday morning battling a fire in a home in Old St. Vital.

The blaze broke out shortly after 4:30 a.m. in a bungalow on Ashton Avenue just off of St. Anne's Road.

When crews arrived, they encountered a well-involved fire with flames and smoke coming from the front of the home. 

All occupants of the home were able to self evacuate before crews arrived on scene. Three people were transported to hospital in stable condition.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
