Fire crews spent hours trying to extinguish a fire on Drouillard Road.
Around 5:00 p.m. Sunday, Windsor Fire tweeted that they were on the scene of an active fire at a multi-unit building in the 1100 block of Drouillard Rd. Residents were evacuated as crews began working to extinguish the blaze from the inside.
About a half an hour later, Windsor Fire tweeted again that they were now attacking the fire from the outside.
"Fire through the roof," read the tweet. Witness video showed fire erupting from the roof of the building as crews worked to contain it.
