Windsor fire crews responded to a large fire at an industrial business on Tuesday evening.
Around 6 p.m., crews responded to the 3900 block of North Service Road East, which sits just off the E.C. Row Expressway, near Central Avenue.
In a post to social media, Windsor Fire and Rescue Services noted one building and one truck were believed to be involved in the blaze.
Posts on social media reported large plumes of smoke rising over the nearby expressway and catching the eye of residents.
Fire Chief Jamie Waffle said the response included as many as 10 fire vehicles.
"Anytime you have a large scale fire like that or in a large scale complex, I think if you look at the pictures that are fanning out there from the road, you can see it looks very significant," he said.
Making the response more complex, Waffle said other potential fire risks on site included chemicals and a diesel tank.
""Anytime we're at an industrial complex there's always the risk of potential chemicals or propane tanks or acetylene tanks. So certainly we're using caution with the extent of the fire at the initial phases," Waffle said.
The fire was brought under control, however, Waffle said crews were expected to remain on scene working to eliminate any hot spots.
"Sometimes with these larger scale fires, fire gets into void spaces, potentially into the ceilings, the rooftop, or the walls, and sometimes those become a little bit difficult to pull them apart and get to them in order to completely mitigate the fire so that when they leave the scene it doesn't reignite," he said.
Waffle said no injuries were reported.
The fire investigator was called in to determine a cause with damage estimates to follow.
