The Forks had a fire early this morning, hey.
Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.
The Forks, our city's heart, saw a structure fire early this morning, April 13, 2026. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) dispatch records indicate the incident, #2026054389, was reported at 2:38:58 AM. Units D3, E101, E104, L1, and R4 responded to the call in the Fort Rouge - East Fort Garry ward. WFPS had it resolved quickly, by 2:51:04 AM, which is good news for such a significant spot in our city.
### What Else is Happening Today
While the Forks incident was handled fast, it’s a reminder of how vital our emergency services are. In other city news, 311 data from the past 24 hours shows "Housing Complaint - Yard and Accessory Bldg_vof" is the top complaint, with four calls. This particular issue has garnered 17 total calls recently, which tells you what’s on people's minds as spring tries to arrive, hey.
We also have two new liquor license applications this week: one for Kings Restaurant Middle Eastern Cuisine and another for Rivers Edge Resort. Always interesting to see what new places might be opening up for us. I'll be keeping an eye on these to see if they move forward.
This is your City Hall beat, reminding you to keep an eye on what's happening around you.
