A neighbourhood in Winnipeg’s east side has been rocked by a home explosion.
It happened around 11:15 a.m. Wednesday in the Transcona area, the City of Winnipeg said.
The house is on Camrose Bay, off of Coldstream Avenue, says a post by the city on X, formerly called Twitter.
The public is urged to avoid the area to allow emergency crews to manage the scene safely, the message says.
