Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) crews responded to the building, formally Jimmy Diesel Parts Company, at the corner of Logan Avenue and Beacon Street shortly before 6 p.m.
Fire crews tackled the blaze from the outside as heavy smoke and flames created dangerous conditions. According to a news release, firefighters launched a defensive attack using hand lines and aerial ladder trucks.
The city said no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
