The Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service says all students and staff evacuated safely and were sheltered in a nearby church after a fire in St. Norbert Immersion School and Collegiate on Ste. Therese Avenue on Friday. 

The City of Winnipeg says that emergency crews responded to an alarm at the school shortly after 9 a.m. Friday.

Crews found a small fire in the ceiling of the gym. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire.

The WFPS says that the fire was likely caused by a faulty lighting ballast.

There were no injuries reported. No damage estimates are available.
