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.

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.
