Firefighters spent part of Saturday morning battling a fire at a townhouse complex in the Brooklands neighbourhood of Winnipeg. Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service platoon chief Don Enns said crews were called to the complex on Elkhorn Street at Pacific Avenue West just after 10 a.m. The fire began in a part of the compound that had six units, but there were fears it could spread, Enns said. "We were lucky we were able to stop the fire from advancing into a 10-unit section, and kept the fire contained just to the six-unit section of the townhouse complex," he said. The neighbouring building also suffered some heat damage on the outside, the City of Winnipeg said in a news release.
