Windsor fire officials say a woman was rescued from an apartment fire in east Windsor.
Firefighters were called to Fountainbleu Towers at 2455 Rivard Avenue around 8 .a.m. Tuesday.
It’s a public housing apartment building for seniors.
The woman was rescued from the second floor balcony during the fire.
“Another guy and myself jumped out and tried to help her,” said Stoney Grant, who was driving in the area at the time of the fire. “He climbed up but couldn’t get her down.”
“You can tell she had smoke inhalation, her face was covered with smoke,” added Grant.
The woman was sent to hospital as a precaution.
The fire was contained to one unit, and caused smoke and water damage.
An investigator with the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal is helping to determine the cause of the fire.
