Winnipeg emergency crews are on-scene of a major blaze in Transcona Monday afternoon.

A spokesperson for the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) told Global News that a major wildland fire is threatening structures in the 600 block of Gunn Road and surrounding area.

UPDATE: As of 3:56 pm, all but 10 customers have been restored by switching to an alternate power supply. The remaining 10 customers will be out until the fire is extinguished and we can access our poles. Thanks for your patience.
