An early morning fire in Winnipeg’s North End consumed a 1½-storey house, leaving nothing but some partial walls, on Wednesday.

Crews were called just after 5:30 a.m. to the house on Salter Street near St. John’s Avenue.

No information is available yet on whether anyone was inside.

A neighbouring house appears to be vacant and boarded up from a different fire, with scorch marks around the space where the upper window would have been.

Salter is closed between Mountain and Anderson avenues. Police and cadets are on scene to redirect traffic.

A burned house stands between two other homes. A hose pours water down onto the burned one.
