According to Windsor Fire and Rescue services, the fire broke out around 7 a.m. in a  second residence behind a main house on Lincoln Road near Gladstone Avenue.

Windsor Fire said on their twitter account that the fire started on the second floor of the residence after combustible products were placed too close to a space heater.

Damage is estimated to be around $100,000 and no injuries were reported.
