***UPDATED 7:35 am***

All but one Portage la Prairie fire truck has returned from the scene of an early-morning fire in the city.

It was at a house on 9th Street Southwest, with the call coming in between 4:30 and 5.

The fire was put out before 6 o'clock, but firefighters have been monitoring the building for hidden hot spots.

It's not known how many people were in the house, but we've received unconfirmed reports of one person taken to hospital, as a precaution.

We'll keep you updated.
