Windsor Fires Still Under Investigation (Gallery)

The investigation into a fire at a mobile home in South Windsor continues, just as the investigations into two more fires in the city get underway.

Firefighters rushed to a home in the 700-block of Windsor Ave. around 1am Wednesday when flames erupted in the attic. Then, around 6:30am, firefighters were called to a home a few blocks away in the 500-block of Elliott St. E where a fire burned in the basement. Officials say the cause of the Elliott fire has been listed as undetermined and did $110,000 in damage.

Officials are still working to find out what started the fires and Windsor Fire Deputy Chief Brian McLaughlin says it may be a while before they can get into the basement of the home on Elliott St. E. "The basement was filled fairly high with water as a result of fire suppression operations. As a result, we have to pump out the basement before we can get an inspector in there."

Nobody was hurt in the two most recent fires Wednesday morning, but early Tuesday, a woman suffered smoke inhalation in a fire on Marlin Ct. while her two young children suffered smoke inhalation and first-degree burns. The mother still remains in hospital. Three firefighters were also injured fighting that blaze, including one who suffered a slip and fall and another who hurt his leg.

Investigators from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal have ruled the fire on Marlin Ct. as undetermined and officials say it caused $10,000 in damage.
