WINNIPEG — One firefighter was injured battling a blaze at a vacant property early Saturday in the 400 block of Aberdeen Avenue.
Emergency crews were called to the boarded-up house just before 6:30 a.m. to find smoke coming from the structure.
Firefighters initially launched an offensive attack, but deteriorating conditions forced crews to switch to a defensive attack. Firefighters utilized aerial ladders to extinguish the fire and are expected to be on scene throughout the morning.
One firefighter sustained an injury while working on scene. Paramedics assessed the individual and transported them to hospital in stable condition.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available.
Crews responded to the same location for a fire in November 2024.
