Battling a Blaze at Winnipeg City Pool

Reporting from on scene
incident:  Structural Fire

Of all places for a fire... a public pool!



Crew was called to battle a blaze at one of our public pools, Margaret Grant Pool.  The fire was in the basement, which was sparked when construction workers who were digging up a concrete floor ignited a paper construction product underneath.

Thankfully, there were no members of the public at the pool.  City staff and the construction workers were forced outside.  Two people were taken to hospital with smoke inhalation.  At one point, crew was ordered out of the building for safety reasons. 

The pool remains closed until further notice.
