There's a fire in Deer Lodge right now, hey.

There's a fire in Deer Lodge right now, hey.

Good morning, Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful.

Right now, a structure fire is active in Deer Lodge. WFPS dispatch records, updated at 11:35 AM on March 29, 2026, show incident 2026046091 in the Deer Lodge neighbourhood, St. James ward. Multiple units — 22, D10, D75, E10, E11, E18, E20, L11, R11, S5 — were dispatched at 5:03 AM. Keep an eye on local news for updates as our firefighters work hard out there.

Over in William Whyte, there's also an active hazmat response, incident 2026046031, in the Mynarski ward. Units D24, E16, E6, L13, and R5 have been on scene since 1:39 AM this morning, according to the same WFPS data. It's a busy morning for our emergency services across the city, hey.

On a lighter note, five new liquor license applications were posted this week, so get ready for some new spots popping up. Names like House of Ma’s, The Highwater Bar, and John’s Fusion Kitchen are on the list. Always good to see new places to gather and share a meal or a drink opening up in our neighbourhoods.

That’s your Morning Wire from the MiTL Sports Desk.
