Residents displaced by a fire at an apartment complex on Glengarry Avenue will be moved to a temporary shelter.
A fire broke out early Thursday morning on the seventh floor of the complex at 333 Glengarry Avenue.
Fire officials reported that 11 people were assessed on the scene for smoke inhalation. Five people, including one firefighter, had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.
Windsor crews extinguished the fire and ventilated the building, but residents on floors six, seven, and eight will not be able to stay in their units until further notice.
Residents in 51 units out of the 136 total units will be moved to emergency shelter.
A temporary emergency shelter has been set up at the WFCU Centre for all displaced residents. Buses will transport those in need of overnight accommodations from the Homelessness and Housing Help Hub until 8 p.m.
The City of Windsor and Red Cross staff are onsite at the temporary emergency shelter to help those in need.
Residents living on floors one to five will be allowed to return home Thursday night. The building will be without hot water but there will be heat and power.
