Frigid temperatures didn’t stop crews from battling a well-involved house fire on Friday night, February 8, 2019.

(City of Winnipeg)
When crews arrived just after 7:30 pm at the corner of Aberdeen and Salter the occupants of the building had already evacuated the building as smoke and flames filled the air.
Crews initially attacked the fire from inside the structure but were forced to pull back and attack it defensively.
A ladder truck poured water on the building from above.
Traffic on both Salter Street and Aberdeen Avenue was diverted around the scene as crews spent several hours getting the fire under control.
The cause of the fire is unknown and investigators will be combing the scene in an effort to find the cause.
