The Winnipeg Fire Department fought a large fire early Friday at a trucking company on Keewatin Street and managed to save most of the building.
Crews were called to Fast Freight around 6:15 a.m., where they found heavy smoke coming from a commercial building.
Videos sent to Global News show large smoke clouds hanging in the air as crews respond.
According to the Winnipeg Fire Department, crews were working to control the fire inside and outside the building, and were seen using a drone to assess the damage after the fire was under control.
No one was hurt and everyone left the building before the fire crews arrived.

Platoon chief Doug Grieve said there were some explosions heard inside the building, but crews managed to prevent the whole building from being destroyed.
“The crews made a good stop in dividing it off and saving most of the building, although smoke damage will need to be assessed,” Grieve said.
He continued to say the fire was limited to the warehouse section of the building.
The fire and cause is currently under investigation.
