The City of Winnipeg is asking people to avoid the area of Camrose Bay after a house exploded.
One home is completely levelled and others have significant damage after an explosion rocked a Transcona neighbourhood Wednesday morning.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) was called to Camrose Bay around 11:20 a.m. for reports of a house explosion. Debris could be seen on the road and only the foundation was remaining
WFPS Deputy Chief Scott Wilkinson said crews are still working to put out the fire, noting no one was injured in the neighbouring homes.
"We are still trying to ascertain the location of the occupants of the home that was involved in the explosion," said Wilkinson.
He could not confirm whether anyone was home when the explosion happened.
Wilkinson added it is too early to determine the cause of the explosion.
"We don't have any risk to the community beyond this that we are aware of at this time."
