A vacant home on Wellington Avenue is being demolished Wednesday morning after catching fire overnight.
Although no one was hurt in the blaze, enough damage was caused by smoke, fire and water that the building is being considered a complete loss and was at risk of collapse.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said some neighbouring homes had some water damage and fire crews will continue to extinguish hot spots while the demolition is taking place.
