A fire in Broadway-Assiniboine. Here's what we know, 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're starting this morning with a bit of a shake-up in the Broadway-Assiniboine neighbourhood. The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to a structure fire at 2:49 AM on April 23, 2026. WFPS dispatch records, real-time data from our civic intelligence monitors, show units D4, E4, L1, R4, and R5 were on scene. The incident, recorded as 2026060495, was resolved by 3:25 AM, hey. This is in the Fort Rouge - East Fort Garry ward, right in the heart of things. Always a bit unsettling when you hear about a fire in these older, beautiful neighbourhoods.
On a less urgent note, the City’s media release from April 22, 2026, says that Mayor Gillingham is set to testify today before the Senate committee on bail reform. This is a big one for the city, showing Winnipeg’s voice is being heard nationally on issues that affect us directly, you know? It’s important to watch how our leaders represent us on the national stage.
