Downtown Winnipeg restaurant fire sparks safety concerns ahead of Grey Cup
A la fires incident at La Roca, a popular downtown Winnipeg restaurant, has raised concerns among local business owners and officials. The incident occurred early Friday morning, just days before the city expects a meta surge of visitors for Grey Cup events.
Fire trucks arrived at the scene around 6 a.m., and firefighters managed to extinguish the fire by 6:40 a.m. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. However, the timing of the la fires has left many worried, including Shaun Jeffery, head of the Manitoba Restaurant and Food Services Association. Jeffery finds it disheartening that another restaurant in the area has caught fire and is seeking answers and a plan to address safety concerns from local officials and police.
Major crimes investigators are looking into the incident. Despite the setback, La Roca's owner plans to open the business for Grey Cup weekend, but expresses frustration and concern about the safety of the area. Jeffery plans to discuss these issues with Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham at the association's annual general meeting on Monday. It's unclear if the mayor has been briefed about the la fires at La Roca as of now.
