Early morning fire at triplex on Dougall

By: Victoria Parent

Windsor Fire and Rescue Services was called to 820 Dougall Ave on Feb. 5 for a fire in the triplex. The fire started in the attic of the triplex at around 7:30 a.m. and was quickly put out by fire services. There was more than five fire trucks at the scene and Windsor Police Services and Windsor Emergency Medical Services showed up to the scene. No injuries were reported.

 

One resident of the building said the response of Windsor Fire was so quick that, “by the time I put the phone down, I could hear the sirens.”

 

Fire and Rescue put up cautionary tape around the scene because of the Dougall Public Elementary school being right across the street from the residence. After the fire was put out, they still checked for hotspots and awaited the arrival of the investigator. The investigator will determine the cause and of the fire.
