Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to two overnight house fires
Dawson Road South
On Friday night, just after 10:40 pm, crews responded to a fire on Dawson Road South.
As firefighters arrived on scene they encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from a vacant two-storey house.
A defensive attack was launched initially but later transitioned to an interior offensive attack. The fire was declared under control around 11:42 pm.
A search of the structure found no one inside. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
Sand Lily Drive
Around 3:00 am on Saturday morning, December 28, 2019 crews responded to a single-family bungalow on Sand Lily Drive.
Smoke was coming from the home as crews arrived and an offensive attack was launched. The fire was under control within 25 minutes.
Everyone inside the home was able to escape before firefighters arrived on scene.
The cause of the fire appears to have been accidental due to careless disposal of smoking materials.
