Winnipeg, MB - Following a motion presented at the Standing Policy Committee on Protection, Community Services and Parks on Friday, October 14, the Public Service was asked to provide an update on the fire in the 3000 block of Dugald Road which occurred on Thursday, October 13, 2016.
In summary, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to a fire in a silo at a commercial business in the 3000 block of Dugald Road on Thursday, October 13. The silo was partially emptied and crews extinguished the fire using water and foam. Fire crews left the scene at 20:35.
The owners of the facility set up a fire watch that night to ensure that if any fire reoccurred, it would be dealt with promptly. None reoccurred.
Traffic was being controlled on scene by the Winnipeg Police Service Cadets. Vehicles were able to travel both east and west on Dugald and drivers were asked to avoid the area if possible while Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service worked to extinguish the fire.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service will revisit the site with the Winnipeg Police Service and the Public Works Department to assess any damage and to determine if any corrective actions are required.
