A house on Young Street was destroyed by a fire on Wednesday morning.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in a one-and-a-half-storey, single-family home in the 400 block of Young Street around 1 a.m.
Crews arrived and were immediately met with smoke coming from the house, officials said.
Due to bad conditions crews had to battle the fire from outside the home.
The below-freezing temperatures created challenging conditions. The area around the fire scene was ice-covered and slippery.
Firefighters were being rotated to give them breaks from the cold.
