Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was called to a fire in a two-storey home in the 900 block of Crescent Drive on Thursday night, November 24, 2022.
When firefighters arrived on the scene just after 6:40 pm they saw heavy smoke coming from the building. An offensive attack was launched inside the structure but as conditions worsened crews had to move to a defensive attack on the exterior.
An aerial ladder was set up to help extinguish the blaze. By 8:25 pm the fire was declared under control but crews remained on the scene for several hours to ensure it did not reignite.
The home is a total loss and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Officials say that everyone who was inside the home at the time of the fire was able to get out safely and there were no reports of any injuries.
