For the second time in a week, firefighters were called to The Forks again to put out burning docks.

The remains of nine burnt docks and five damaged ones from last week’s fire were relit shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Monday.

Winnipeg police closed Main Street at the Norwood Bridge between Marion Street and Broadway Avenue.

Plumes of black smoke could be seen as far away as Headingley.

A similar fire last week caused an estimated $30,000 in damage.
