Fire at Glengarry unit causes $50K in damage

Windsor Fire and Rescue reported one injury from a fire downtown on Friday afternoon.

Firefighters were called to the Glengarry apartment complex just before 1 p.m. after a fire was reported in a single unit.

The fire was confined to that unit, and on-site security ensured that everyone there evacuated the building.

One person was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and was being monitored late Friday afternoon. On saturday, they were released from the hospital.

Fire officials say lithium-ion batteries were found in the area of origin, but there is no confirmation that they sparked the fire.

Damage is estimated at $50,000.

The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office has sent a team to Windsor to further investigate the cause.
