No one was injured after a small fire at a fitness centre on Portage Avenue Sunday morning.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said firefighters were called to the scene of a strip mall in the 900 block of Portage Avenue at about 7:57 a.m.
Smoke was coming from the eaves from Valentine’s Fitness and Weight Loss Centre, so firefighters went inside to launch an attack and the fire was quickly put out.
The building’s sprinkler system helped control the fire before firefighters got there, said the WFPS.
