Your North End is hurting after a night of fires

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

It was a tough night for the North End, hey. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service dispatch records show crews were battling multiple structure fires through the early morning hours, with one still active as of 11:57 AM CST on April 24, 2026. This active fire is in the Logan-C.P.R. neighbourhood, in Point Douglas ward, first reported at 2:36 AM. A total of 20 units are on scene.

Before that, two other structure fires hit the Mynarski ward. One was in William Whyte, reported at 3:08 AM and resolved by 3:22 AM. Another in St. John's was reported at 3:26 AM and resolved just nine minutes later at 3:35 AM. Three structure fires in one night, all concentrated in the city’s historic North End. We'll be keeping an eye on the WFPS updates for the Logan-C.P.R. incident and any details on causes.

And on a lighter note, six new liquor license applications were posted this week, according to city records. Looks like Epic Street Grub and Chuck’s Roadhouse Bar and Grill are among those looking to pour in our city, hey. Always good to see new businesses looking to make a go of it here.
