Winnipeg firefighters are battling yet another wildland fire amidst a burn ban for the City of Winnipeg and much of the Province.
High winds again on Wednesday afternoon fanned the flames of the latest fire.
The United Firefighters of Winnipeg said in an online post that crews responded to the fire just south of the floodway.
Nearly 20 units, including the wildland fire team, responded to the call. The UFFW called the fire serious in the post.
Tinder-dry conditions had sparked the city to widen a burn ban this afternoon that was already in place.

Wildland and brush fires have been a big concern for not only the City of Winnipeg but many parts of southeastern Manitoba over the last week.
