Quite the scare for residents of a downtown high rise.
Windsor fire was called to the 1500-block of Ouellette Ave just before 6:30pm Sunday night.
Crews arrived to find heavy smoke throughout the building.
Firefighters were able to track down the fire in the basement and confined it to a garbage room.
Chief Fire Prevention Officer John Lee says smoke spread through the building via the garbage chute.
No injuries are reported while the cause is yet to be determined.
