The June 23 blaze at Serbu Tire on Howard Avenue near Hanna Street has now been deemed an arson by Windsor police. The building burned for several hours and thick black smoke could be seen as far as the city’s east end.
Damage was pegged at $500,000. The roof and the front wall of the building collapsed but there was no damage to nearby structures.
No injuries were reported.
