Fire breaks out at east Windsor rest home

A very cold night for some residents of a rest home in Walkerville.

They were forced out when a fire broke out in a bedroom.

That was on Devonshire Road near Wyandotte Street East late Thursday night.

A Transit Windsor bus was dispatched to keep them warm while firefighters put the blaze out.

The damage was confined to just the one room and is estimated at $30,000.

The residents have been allowed back into the rest home now.
