Fire claims the life of one person and a dog on Thursday night

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to a fire in a single-family bungalow in the 1900 block of William Avenue just before midnight on Thursday, January 20, 2022.

When crews arrived on the scene they found a well-involved fire with heavy smoke and flames coming from the structure. An offensive attack was launched but due to deteriorating conditions firefighters were forced to transition to a defensive attack. Once conditions improved crews moved back inside and the fire was declared under control at 1:14 am.

Emergency crews searched the building and found the body of one occupant and a dog. Both were deceased.

No other injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
