Traffic blocked, emergency services vehicles on scene in Winnipeg’s north end

Winnipeg police blocked off a road just north of the Arlington Bridge early Monday afternoon, while several emergency services vehicles were also at the scene.

A Global News reporter at the scene says cruisers were blocking traffic on Dufferin Avenue between Arlington and Parr streets.

About half a dozen firetrucks were at the location, along with a pair of ambulances, and smoke could be seen coming from a nearby business.

The city later reported crews were sent to a fire inside a large single-story commercial building in the 700 block of Jarvis Avenue around noon.

It was declared under control at 1:13 p.m.

No one was inside the building at the time. The cause is now under investigation.
