A vacant house in East Elmwood is set to be demolished after a fire Tuesday.

Firefighters were sent to the two-storey house on Berlin Street at 6:40 a.m. An emergency demolition was being arranged because of structural concerns.

Later Tuesday, at 8:51 a.m., crews were sent to a home on the 300 block of Lindsay Street after a pickup truck caught fire, threatening a garage. Crews declared the fire under control at 9:09 a.m.

Preliminary observations suggest the fire was accidental, involving a plugged-in block heater, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said in a news release.
