Winnipeg, MB – At 12:55 p.m. on Sunday, December 3, 2023, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in a two-and-a-half storey house in the 700 block of Stella Avenue.
When crews arrived to the scene, they found smoke coming from the house. Crews attacked the fire from the interior, declaring the fire under control at 1:25 p.m.
All occupants of the house safely self-evacuated. No other injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage estimates are not available at this time.
Residents are asked to exercise caution in the area, as water used to fight the fire has frozen and created slippery conditions. City of Winnipeg crews will be monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.
