Winnipeg firefighters responded to two fires in less than 24 hours, including a significant commercial blaze that took more than two hours to bring under control.
Crews arrived at a commercial building in the 1000 block of Henry Avenue just after 2:30 a.m. Friday to find heavy flames and smoke.
The Hazardous Materials team also responded to reports of chemicals inside.
The fire was declared under control at 5:08 a.m. No injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation.
On Thursday night, crews responded to a grass fire near Lagimodiere Boulevard and Dugald Road just before 8 p.m.
The blaze covered roughly 400 square metres and was fought using WFPS Bisons — specialized wildland vehicles capable of travelling on uneven terrain while spraying water. The fire was under control within an hour. No injuries were reported and the cause remains under investigation.
