Minutes before 2:00 am on Friday April 17, 2020, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to a fire in a commercial building at the corner of Charles Street and Sutherland Avenue.
When firefighters arrived on scene they were greeted with heavy smoke and flames coming from the structure.
Crews launched an attack from the exterior of the building using ladder trucks and ground crews to knock down the flames.
The fire was still flaring up more than 90 minutes after it started as crews continued to pour thousands of gallons onto hotspots within the structure.
Fire crews are expected to be on scene for much of the morning.
No injuries were reported
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
In February firefighters battled another suspicious fire in a fenced yard adjacent to the building.
