UPDATE:

Brandon Fire Crews are still on scene at a large structure fire in the city.

Multiple roads in the area continue to be blocked off by the Brandon Police Service after the building currently under construction went up in flames this morning.

Brandon Fire and Emergency Services Chief Terry Parlow says the building is a complete loss after the fire ripped through it this morning. He went on to say that the fire was under control earlier and said it is thanks to not having to deal with much of a wind which made it easier to battle the smoke and flames.

He also said no other buildings were affected by the fire and no residents in the nearby area had to be forced to evacuate. 

The building is near Victoria Avenue and E.Fotheringham Drive.

Residents are being asked to avoid the area if possible to give crews space to continue to work on the site.
