Heavy fire and smoke broke out around 5:15pm on the 4th floor of the building, startling residents who gathered on the front lawn of the eight-story building.

Firefighters struggled with an apparent malfunctioning fire hose cabinet in the building and had to run a fire hose up to a balcony a few units over on the 3rd floor.

Windsor Police report that the fire is not suspicious and that the cause was accidental by a pot of oil on a stove.

There is one current report of an injury: a woman was carried by firefighters down the rear stairwell with smoke inhalation.
