Windsor smell

The Environment Department is investigating a strong smell of furnace oil in a building housing a number of businesses in Windsor.

The fire department and paramedics were called yesterday to the building on Water Street which used to be a car dealership. Crews also checked Lake Pisiquid for any spills but found nothing…although some people told CBC they felt sick.

The smell was first noticed last week at a book store.

Valley fire

No one was hurt in a fire early this morning in Greenwood.

The flames started in a garage of a house in the River Ridge Subdivision, according to the Kings County Register. The homeowner and neighbours poured water on the fire with garden hoses until fire fighters arrived and kept damage down, although there was some damage to the attic.

The cause is under investigation.
