Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responds to a fire on Alexander Avenue

Released: January 13, 2025 at 11 a.m.

Winnipeg, MB- At 11:29 p.m. on Sunday, January 12, 2025, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) responded to reports of a fire in a two-storey house in the 400 block of Alexander Avenue.

The Winnipeg Police Service's Air 1 helicopter was in the area and provided situational awareness to the 911 communications centre while WFPS crews were dispatched.

At the scene, crews saw heavy smoke and flames coming from the house. Firefighters attacked the fire from inside the house, declaring the fire under control at 12:37 a.m.

All occupants safely self-evacuated before crews arrived. No injuries were reported.

The City of Winnipeg's Emergency Social Services team responded to the scene to provide temporary supports to residents.

Residents should use caution in the area, as water used to fight the fire has frozen and created slippery conditions. City of Winnipeg crews are monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.

The fire is under investigation. Damage estimates are not available.
