A major fire at the Dollarma Store in the 6700 block of Tecumseh Road East on Easter Monday broke out around 8:30pm, shortly before many of the businesses were were set to close for the evening.
The fire appears to have begun inside the ceiling of the Dollarama, but this cannot be confirmed until the site is secure enough for an inspection to take place. Passerbyers and store employees called the Windsor Fire Department after noticing smoke and flames pouring from the roof of the structure.
