Winnipeg, MB – At 3:42 a.m. on Monday, March 3, 2025, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in a vacant house in the 400 block of Young Street.
At the scene, crews saw smoke coming from the windows. Firefighters attacked the fire, declaring it under control at 4:47 a.m.
No one reported any injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available.
Residents should use caution in the area, as water used to fight the fire has frozen and created slippery conditions. City of Winnipeg crews are monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.
If you see someone actively entering a vacant building, or removing boards from a building’s windows or doors, call 911 to report the incident immediately.
If you notice boarded windows or doors that have been breached, but you do not see someone actively entering or trying to enter the building, report the incident to 311 by phone or online.
