WINNIPEG A grass fire that burned in a field Monday afternoon in Charleswood was close to burning some homes in the neighbourhood, according to one resident who witnessed the fire. At approximately 2:30 p.m., Jim Macgregor and his wife Christine noticed the blaze burning in the field behind his home on Charleswood Road and Rannock Avenue. “Our living room faces the field behind us, which is west of our house, and she noticed a lot of smoke, so we rushed outside just to see what was happening,” Jim said. “There were flames all about the field, and also flames into our yard, but not quite at our house.”
