Fire in Linden Woods and what you told 311, hey
Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.
We've got some real-time intelligence to dive into this morning, starting with an early call for our Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service. WFPS dispatch records show a structure fire was reported in the Linden Woods neighborhood, in the River Heights - Fort Garry ward, at 2:24 AM on April 17, 2026. Unit R22 was on the scene, and it looks like that incident, 2026056747, was resolved by 3:11 AM. Hope everyone is safe out there, hey.
### Your Calls to City Hall
Shifting gears to what's on your minds, the top complaint to 311 today is "Submission," with 5 calls in the last 24 hours. That's out of a total of 17 calls to 311. People are also calling about:
* Primary Transit Network Inquiries (3 calls) * Pothole P3\_vof (3 calls) * Traffic Signal Malfunction (1 call) * Pothole Backlane\_vof (1 call)
It tells you a bit about what's pressing for folks right now, doesn't it? The potholes are always a spring thing after the freeze and thaw, eh. We'll be keeping an eye on these numbers to see if a pattern emerges, especially as the city's spring cleanup just started on Sunday, April 15, 2026, according to a recent city media release.
