Lac du Bonnet RCMP received seven calls last night and into this morning regarding downed power lines caused by high winds that, in multiple cases, started small fires.
No one was injured. RCMP are expecting to get more calls throughout the day as the strong winds continue.
We would like to thank all the fire departments that were dispatched and Manitoba Hydro for their quick response.
Anyone that sees a downed power line is asked to stay clear and contact Manitoba Hydro. Should a fire start as a result of the downed hydro line, please call 911 immediately.
