Regina Fire and Protective Services is trying to figure out how two separate fires started overnight on the weekend.
The first one happened around 5:30 Saturday evening in the house at 835 Robinson Street, that’s near 2nd Avenue.

Everyone was out of the house by the time crews got there, but one person had to be treated for smoke inhalation by EMS.
The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes.
The second fire happened around 3:40 Sunday morning in an apartment at 134 Rae Street, that’s at Parliament Avenue.
Regina fire said the person in the suite was woken by the fire alarm, and managed to get out of the building alright.
As of Sunday morning investigators were still at both fire scenes, so there was no word on the cause of the fires or how much damage had been done.
