Someone had a rough night in Central Park, hey?
Good morning, Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful.
### Fire Crews Battle Early Morning Blaze in Central Park
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) crews were on scene responding to a structure fire in Central Park earlier this morning. The incident, recorded as 2026047188, began at 4:09 AM on March 31, 2026, in the Daniel McIntyre ward. Eight units — D3, E101, E102, E11, L1, L11, R11, and R5 — were dispatched, according to WFPS dispatch records. The fire was resolved by 4:37 AM.
It's a quick response time, which you love to see, hey? That neighborhood, it's the heart of the city in so many ways. We'll be keeping an eye out for any further details on what happened there.
### New Spots for a Drink and a Bite
On a lighter note, if you're looking for new places to check out, the city posted five new liquor license applications this week.
They include: * House of Ma’s * The Highwater Bar * John’s Fusion Kitchen * BarBurrito Fresh Mexican Grill * Venetian Nail Spa
It's always good to see new businesses looking to set up shop in Winnipeg, hey? Especially when it means more places to grab a *bibingka* or a solid burrito. Keep an eye on those spots; they could be your next favorite hangout.
That's the latest from City Hall this morning. We'll be here watching what happens next.
