Your Spence neighbourhood is seeing fire crews active this morning
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 today with some urgent news out of the Spence neighbourhood. Our civic intelligence monitor, live as of 12:11 UTC, shows that Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) crews are actively responding to a structure fire. This incident, identified as 2026083359, was first reported at 6:30 AM local time this morning, May 31, 2026.
Here’s what we know right now:
* **Location:** Spence neighbourhood, within the Daniel McIntyre ward. * **Units Dispatched:** A significant response with 13 units, including 6, D10, D75, E101, E102, E103, E5, GATOR92, L1, R4, R5, R8, and S5. * **Status:** The incident is still active. There was another structure fire reported almost simultaneously, incident 2026083360, which was resolved quickly at 6:35 AM. It's unclear if these two are related, but both were in Spence.
This is a serious situation for residents in Spence. WFPS dispatch records show a busy few days for our fire crews, with responses to fires on Syndicate Street, Winnipeg Avenue, and Logan Avenue just yesterday. We'll be keeping a close eye on this active situation in Spence and will bring you updates as they become available, hey.
