Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service spent part of Saturday evening battling a fire at St. Boniface Hospital.
Crews got the call at 6:47 p.m. for reports of a fire at the rear of the hospital.
Platoon Chief Don Enns said crews arrived and saw smoke and flames at the exterior of two garages belonging to carpentry staff.
Since the fire was at a hospital, officials declared a second alarm to ensure plenty of resources were there to help.
The fire was put out shortly after crews arrived, Enns said.
No evacuations of patients at St. Boniface were required and the cause remains under investigation.
