A fire on Mayfair Avenue in Winnipeg has left a house completely damaged.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) said in a release that they responded to reports of a fire in a vacant three-storey house in the 100 block of Mayfair Avenue on Thursday at 10:42 p.m.
WFPS says crews encountered a well-involved fire, complete with heavy smoke and flames coming from the property.
Crews fought the fire from the outside and once conditions improved they attempted to transition to an interior attack but were quickly forced out due to the level of damage inside.
