The Dauphin Fire Department (DFD) responded to a large structure fire late Friday night in the area of 2nd Avenue NE and 3rd Street.

Multiple DFD units and other emergency personnel responded to the area around 11 p.m.

Large amounts of smoke were billowing out of a structure.

It's unknown if there are any injuries at this time.

Firefighters were on scene until shortly after 8:00 am this morning.

Due to the water usage and the extreme cold weather, the DFD asks the public to stay clear of the area as the City will be doing some road maintenance prior to reopening the block.

The incident remains under investigation at this time by the RCMP and the MB Office of the Fire Commissioner.
