A vacant home in Winnipeg’s William Whyte neighbourhood has gone up in flames for the third time since July.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) was called to fire at a home in the 400 block of Alfred Avenue just before midnight on Sunday.
When crews got to the scene, they found smoke and flames coming from the home and launched an exterior attack. Once it was safe to do so, firefighters transitioned to an interior attack, extinguishing the fire by 1:11 a.m. on Monday.
No one was inside the home at the time of the fire, and no one was hurt.
