WINDSOR For the second time this week, firefighters were asked to respond to a possible fire at a local restaurant.

Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Juteau said the Jan. 16 early afternoon call was the result of a small electrical fire at the Sweet Williams Restaurant in Windsor.

Staff had reported seeing an arc and some fire come out from the top of one of their refrigeration units. They called 911, said Juteau, who was the first firefighter on scene.

He said the staff did the right thing by calling them in.

The fire at that point appeared to be out but we isolated the power to the units affected and checked it over with thermal imaging cameras, said Juteau.

Firefighters also checked the top of the unit to see if there was any extension of the fire.

The restaurant, located at MacLeod House, didnt have to close due to the fire as they had multiple storage units at their disposal.

We instructed them they should clear out that section of cooler and couldnt use it until the electrician was brought in to check it out, said Juteau.
