Fire investigators say a heat lamp is the preliminary cause of a fire at a downtown Windsor apartment building.

Windsor Fire and Rescue was called at around 8 a.m. on Monday to Windsor Avenue near Elliott Street East. When they arrived, they found a fire on the second floor and light smoke in a hallway.

The fire was declared out within half an hour, and occupants were sheltering in place elsewhere in the building.

Windsor fire officials say a heat lamp placed too close to a couch may have contributed to the fire.

The unit has been turned over to the owner of the building.
