Winnipeg fire crews had a busy day on Friday as they responded to four separate blazes across the city.
The first fire happened around 3:44 a.m. at a vacant house along Sherman Street near Alexandre Avenue.
Once at the scene, crews could see smoke and flames coming from the home, and firefighters began to battle it, declaring it under control at 4:22 a.m.
Around 12:49 p.m., WFPS responded to a second vacant house fire, this time along Aberdeen Avenue near Charles Street.
Once at the scene, crews could see light smoke coming from the home before attacking the fire and declaring it under control at 1:17 p.m.
Fire crews responded to a third fire around 8:54 p.m. in a 10-storey structure along Princess Street near Ross Avenue.
WFPS says due to a life-safety risk associated with a high-rise building, an additional complement of resources was dispatched to the scene.
Once at the scene, firefighters were able to find the fire in a suite and were able to declare it under control at 9:14 p.m.
Lastly, WFPS responded to a report of a fire at a house along Meredith Bay around 10:35 p.m.
Once at the scene, crews could see smoke coming from the home and began battling the blaze before declaring it under control at 11:11 p.m.
