MASSIVE FIRE at Building Under Construction - Brandon, MB

At around 8:15am on February 17th, 2022 Brandon Firefighter Paramedics and Brandon Police Service responded to a structure fire in the 4100 block of Victoria Avenue in Brandon. The building, which was a 4 story apartment building under construction, had heavy smoke and fire showing from the upper floors upon arrival of emergency crews.

Flames could be seen pushing hard out of the 4th floor and roof. Billowing black and gray smoke could be seen city-wide against the crystal clear blue skies.

Brandon Fire set up their Quint ladder truck on Victoria Avenue and started master stream operations with their ladder pipe. 15 Pump was positioned on 42nd Street between the building on fire and the occupied apartments to the south. Luckily the wind was calm and pushing slowly to the north which moved the smoke, heat and embers away from the occupied apartments.

A Blitz Fire monitor and a 2 1/2" handline were pulled from 15 Pump to attack the flames from the south side while Quint continued master stream ops on the north side.

The fire progressed rapidly and aggressively due to the the combustible materials and the building being under construction. The majority of the structure collapsed within 30-45 minutes of fire crews arriving. As of now the majority of the fire is knocked down, however I assume that fire crews will remain on scene throughout the day and into the night. The pile will likely be smoldering for some time. Thankfully no reports of injuries so far.
