Damage estimated at $200K after fire at Windsor apartment building

Damage is estimated at $200,000 after an early morning fire tore through a Windsor apartment building on Martindale Street Wednesday.

The fire began in a living room sofa, according to Windsor Fire Services, but the cause is still undetermined.

Despite the flames and smoke everyone was able to escape unharmed.

Investigators will examine the scene today.
