UPDATE: Landlord Faces Charges In Fatal Fire

The owner of a duplex is facing a number of charges following a fatal fire over the weekend.

Under the fire code the landlord is facing two charges for not having proper smoke detectors and two charges for failing to have proper carbon monoxide detectors.

He's also facing a charge for improper fire separation and another charge relating to self-door closers not operating.

A woman died of smoke inhalation Saturday morning at 395 Curry Ave. Her two dogs also died in the blaze.

Fire started on the kitchen stove, officials say, and caused $150,000. It has been ruled not suspicious.

The charges will now be sorted out by the courts and penalties range from $2,000 to $50,000 for individuals. The owner will be formally charged in the coming days.

Windsor fire officials are taking this time to remind everyone it's law to have a working smoke and CO detector on every level of your home.
