The Steinbach Fire Department was called out at 4:05 Wednesday morning to an address along Fourth Street. Assistant Chief Russ Reimer says the alarm was for an area near an apartment block across the street from Stonybrook Middle School.

"We got called to a dumpster on fire. Upon arrival, we could see it was fully involved. We had a crew from our first attack engine pull a line and extinguish it. It wasn't near any structures, it was just kind of close to some trees."

Reimer adds police are investigating.

"RCMP was on scene. There seemed to be some garbage in the middle of the street and stuff as well. RCMP was looking around to see if there was any particular reason for it to be on fire."
