Former Vulcan Iron Works site catches fire again
The burned-out remains of a Winnipeg industrial site have caught fire once again.
Fire crews were seen spraying water on the massive Vulcan Iron Works warehouse on Sutherland Avenue, in the Point Douglas neighbourhood, on Saturday evening.
Crews were called shortly to the warehouse before 8 p.m., the city said in a news release.
Firefighters battled the blaze from outside of the building, using aerial ladder trucks and hand lines to spray water on the fire, the city said. A drone was also deployed to find hotspots.
Fire crews were still at the site around 9 p.m. to ensure the fire will be put out completely, the city said.
No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
The Vulcan Iron Works warehouse has suffered multiple fires since it was destroyed in a July 2023 blaze.

The crash was reported just before 3:30 a.m. on southbound lanes near Clinton Keith Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. Officers were dispatched to the area after learning of a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu that had lost control in the fast lane and collided with the center divider. The crash left the car inoperable and stalled in the No. 1 lane. The driver, the only passenger of the Malibu, decided to get out and stand in the center divider, while the driver remained behind the wheel and called for assistance, CHP's statement said. Minutes later, a Ford F-350 transit van also traveling southbound approached the stalled car but was unable to stop in time. The driver, only identified as a 61-year-old man from Moreno Valley, collided with the back of the Malibu. The force of the crash caused the van to spin into the middle of the freeway.
