Posted March 18, 2025 11:52 am.
Winnipeg fire crews were tasked with putting out fires at two vacant properties overnight – with both fires now under investigation.
At 12:27 a.m., the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) was called to a two-storey home on Pritchard Avenue.
Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the house. The blaze was declared under control at 1:15 a.m.
A few hours later, at 3:29 a.m., crews were called to a one-and-a-half storey house on Burrows Avenue, where they also encountered heavy smoke and flames.
That fire was deemed under control at 3:59 a.m.
The house was previously damaged in a fire in September 2022.
