A warehouse in the Chevrier area has been destroyed by a fire late Sunday afternoon.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to reports of a fire in the commercial warehouse in the 1200 block of Manahan Avenue around 4:40 p.m.
The building was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived. This caused dangerous conditions and prevented firefighters from going inside.
Crews battled the blaze from the outside but the below-freezing conditions caused some challenges.
