Located at the northeast corner of Autumnwood Drive at Cottonwood Road in the Windsor Park neighbourhood of St. Boniface (now part of Winnipeg), this fire hall was approved in October 1968 by local voters as part of a $250,000 two-fire hall by-law. The building was designed by Etienne Gaboury of Gaboury Lussier Sigurdson Architects as a downscaled version of the St. Boniface Fire Hall No. 2 [later Fire Hall No. 3 of Winnipeg] at 337 Rue Des Meurons, and built by W. W. Construction in 1969-1970.
Opened as Fire Hall No. 4 for the St. Boniface Fire Department, it was also known as the Windsor Park Fire Hall. Following amalgamation of the Unicity-area fire departments in January 1974, the St. Boniface Fire Hall No. 4 was re-numbered as Fire Hall No. 15 of Winnipeg.
The building was demolished in June 2023, along with the adjacent former Windsor Park Library, in preparation of the site for a new and larger fire hall.
