At approximately 9:40 p.m. on Friday, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) responded to reports of a fire in a vacant residence located in the 600 block of Stella Avenue.
Upon arrival, crews were met with heavy smoke and flames emanating from the structure. Due to the dangerous conditions, firefighters were unable to enter the building and instead launched a defensive fire attack from the exterior. The fire was declared under control at 11:47 p.m.
The structure sustained significant water, smoke, and fire damage. Emergency demolition is scheduled to take place today. This residence had previously suffered substantial damage from fires in May 2024 and August 2022.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
