Suspicious blaze found next door to Fire Station 22

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service was busy Saturday evening with a number of outside and garbage fires.

One of the blazes was literally right next door to a fire station on Waverley Street. Just after 10:00 pm a News 4 crew driving by spotted the fire in a pile of debris beside a garbage bin and reported it to the emergency call centre.
