Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responds to fire on Main Street

Released: December 26, 2024 at 9:10 a.m.

Winnipeg, MB – At 2:35 a.m. on Thursday, December 26, 2024, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in a single-storey, commercial building in the 900 block of Main Street.

When crews arrived at the scene, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the building. Firefighters entered the structure and fought the fire from the interior. The fire was declared under control at 4:48 a.m.

Crews completed a search of the building, and no occupants were found. One firefighter was injured while on scene and transported to hospital in stable condition. No other injuries were reported.

Residents are asked to use 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.

The fire is under investigation. Damage estimates are not available.
