The Windsor police arson unit is investigating two separate house fires over two days on Caron Avenue.
The latest blaze was at a vacant two-story house under renovation at 658 Caron at 1:20 a.m. Thursday.
Crews reported heavy fire conditions on the first floor upon arrival, but they were able to get it under control.
Damage is estimated to be about $50,000.
Members of the arson unit and fire investigators were at the scene later Thursday.
Sgt. Steve Betterdidge says part of that investigation is to determine if there is any criminal aspect involved.
“Just a strong reminder to be vigilant to have an extra eye out and be aware and if you do see or hear anything suspicious especially in or around a vacant home somebody there that obviously shouldn't be there give us a call,” says Betteridge. “We'll come out help you out investigate and get to the bottom of it.”
There was also a fire at 478 Caron Ave. on Tuesday. Damage to this vacant residence was also estimated at about $50,000.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Windsor Police at 519-255-6700 ext. 4330, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
