Crews respond to two fires, including one at vacant home

A fire at a vacant home was one of two blazes fires crews were called to in a period of less than 12 hours.

On Monday at 4:40 p.m., firefighters were called to a vacant home on the 400 block of Maryland Street, said a Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service release Tuesday.

Smoke and flames could be seen by arriving crews and they had the fire under control a short time later.

At 2:05 a.m. Tuesday, crews were also called to a house fire on the 200 block of Mill Rock Road.

Finding heavy smoke and flames at the home, WFPS said crews attacked the fire from the outside due to safety reasons. It was declared under control approximately 90 minutes later.

No injuries were reported in either of the fires and both are under investigation.
