WINNIPEG A fire in a two-story townhouse in Winnipeg’s Brooklands neighbourhood forced the evacuation of not only its residents, but also those of an adjacent townhouse complex. The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said they responded to reports of a fire in the 100 block of Elkhorn Street just after 10 a.m. on Saturday. When firefighters arrived smoke could be seen coming from the structure, so they launched an offensive attack. The WFPS said conditions deteriorated and they were forced to change tactics and switch to a defensive attack. The fire was declared under control about an hour later at 11:08 a.m.
