An Elgin Avenue home was torn down in an emergency demolition after a fire Wednesday afternoon.
Winnipeg firefighters were called to the single-family house just before 2:30 p.m., where they found it completely engulfed in smoke and flames.
Because the structural integrity of the bungalow was compromised, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said, it had to be demolished for safety reasons.
