Multiple Major Blazes Hit Winnipeg and West Haven

Firefighters in Winnipeg, Canada, and West Haven, Connecticut, responded to multiple significant fires within a short timeframe. In Winnipeg, crews managed nearly simultaneous early morning blazes at a multi-family residence on Boyd Avenue and a commercial building on Broadway Avenue, with all occupants safely evacuated and no injuries reported; both incidents remain under investigation. Meanwhile, West Haven firefighters tackled two second-alarm fires Sunday morning: a house fire on Hemlock Street and a fire involving industrial machinery at a plastics manufacturing facility on Dogburn Road, where a sprinkler system helped contain the flames. No injuries were reported in either city. Mutual aid supported the West Haven response, and officials in both cities commended the professionalism and teamwork of their fire crews. Residents in both communities were reminded about smoke detectors and fire safety plans as investigations continue.
