A blaze at a vacant Stella Avenue building was one of three structure fires Winnipeg firefighters were called to overnight.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said crews responded to the boarded-up two-storey building just before 9:30 p.m. and were able to get it under control within half an hour.

No one was found in a search of the building.

Three hours later, crews were called to a one-and-a-half-storey house on Manitoba Avenue. Residents had safely left the house before firefighters arrived, and the flames were extinguished quickly.
