Firefighters battle blaze at vacant Nairn home

There were no injuries reported after crews put out a fire at a vacant home on Nairn Avenue Monday.

At roughly 3:43 p.m. firefighters were called to the 300 block of Nairn Avenue for reports of a one-in-a-half storey home on fire, said a Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service news release. 

When firefighters arrived, they found smoke and fire coming from the house and began an interior attack, the WFPS said. However, heavy heat and smoke forced crews to leave the building and fight the blaze from outside. 

After extinguishing a part of the fire, crews were able to re-enter the home to continue working the fire, said the WFPS. It was under control in under an hour.

No occupants were found inside the home, which also caught fire in April 2024, and a damage estimate was not available.

The fire remains under investigation.
