Winnipeg fire crews are battling a blaze at a home on Nairn Avenue.
The fire broke out just before 7 p.m. at a vacant one-and-a-half storey home in the 400 block.
Crews arrived and determined it was unsafe to enter the home and moved into a defensive attack, battling it with an aerial ladder and handlines.
Both neighbouring homes have been temporarily evacuated as a precaution.
