Winnipeg, MB – At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Thursday, September 6, 2018, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) crews responded to a report of a fire at a two-storey wood frame commercial building in the 100 block of Provencher Blvd. Upon arrival, crews were met with heavy smoke, flames and high heat.
An offensive strategy was mounted and the fire was declared under control at 11 p.m. After overhauling the scene WFPS crews returned to their stations but checked in on the scene periodically throughout the night to ensure the fire had not reignited due to any smoldering material.
No occupants were on site at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation and no damage estimates are available at this time.
