Power lines knocked over during Thursday’s blast of winter weather are being blamed for a pair of fires in the Burrows-Keewatin neighbourhood.
Crews were called to the first blaze in a garage in the 1500 block of Magnus Avenue around 10:30 a.m.
A few minutes later, firefighters were called to the second fire, this time in a single-family home in the 1600 block of Pritchard Avenue.
Both fires were under control within 45 minutes and no injuries were reported.
