A fire in Winnipeg’s North End consumed a 1\u00bd-storey house early Wednesday, leaving nothing but some partial walls.<\/p>\n

Crews were sent to the house on the 300 block of Salter Street, near St. John’s Avenue, at 5:40 a.m.<\/p>\n

Firefighters tried to extinguish the blaze from outside because it was unsafe to enter the house, and later ordered an emergency demolition, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said in a news release.<\/p>\n

No one was injured. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A neighbouring house appeared to be vacant and boarded up from a different fire, with scorch marks around the space where the upper window would have been.<\/p>\n

Salter was closed between Mountain and Anderson avenues. Police and cadets were on scene to redirect traffic.<\/p>\n
