Windsor Hotel Suffered Fire. Damage Largely Smoke
Fire at the Windsor Hotel started in a family living room around eight on Friday evening and was quenched by chemical engines before the fire company exhausted its charge. The room was charred but the entire building suffered heavy smoke damage to furnishings and guests’ clothing. A guest escaped via window after tossing a trunk to the ground. The origin remains a mystery though a stove in the room had not been used that day.
