Vacant Winnipeg building deemed a complete loss after early morning fire
A building located on Mayfair Avenue is being declared a complete loss after a fire broke out Saturday morning.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) was called to the 100 block of Mayfair Avenue around 2:20 a.m. for reports of a two-storey apartment fire in a vacant building.
The city said the fire was well-involved when crews arrived on scene and there was heavy smoke.

Crews declared the fire under control at 3:43 a.m., but are expected to remain on scene to deal with hot spots.

No injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation.
The city said the building is a complete loss.
