Your River Heights neighborhood has a hazmat situation
Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.
Okay, so we're waking up to some serious activity in North River Heights this morning, hey. The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) Hazmat crews have been busy. There's been a hazmat response in North River Heights at 7:57 AM today, May 25, 2026, incident number 2026079371, according to the Civic Intelligence Monitor. That's E5 on scene. Another hazmat response in North River Heights was logged at 6:38 AM, incident 2026079343, with E12 responding. There was also a separate hazmat response in Linden Woods at 7:56 AM, incident 2026079370, involving E11.
### Road Conditions and 311 Calls
It's been a busy morning on the roads too. We've seen five motor vehicle collisions across Riverbend, Crestview, Sturgeon Creek, and Mission Industrial between 7:01 AM and 8:39 AM. That's a lot for a short span, and conditions might be a factor.
What's got Winnipeggers calling 311 the most today? "Calls to 311 for MB Hydro" is the top complaint, with 23 calls in the last 24 hours out of a total of 37 city complaints. Seems like a lot of us are dealing with the same thing, hey. We'll be watching to see if WFPS releases more details on those hazmat incidents in River Heights.
