A fire early Monday morning at a home on Bloomfield Road in Sandwich left four people with serious injuries, according to Windsor police.
The fire, which broke out around 8:30 a.m., initially trapped one person, while two others were treated for burns. Emergency crews arrived shortly after and transported all four occupants to the hospital. One of the injured, a 35-year-old man, was arrested at the scene and is under police custody while receiving medical care in Hamilton, where he was sent for further treatment.
The fire caused about $50,000 in damages, and Windsor’s arson unit, along with the Ontario fire marshal, is investigating the cause. Police have not yet disclosed any charges or the suspect’s identity. The area around Bloomfield Road, which had been closed between Prince Road and Watkins Street, has since reopened.
