Fire At Care Home Displaces 7 In Windsor

A two-alarm fire burned two buildings in Windsor, one of them a care facility, and displaced at least seven people Tuesday night, according to the Central Fire Authority of Sonoma County.

The fire at 9591 and 9589 Kristine Way in north Windsor was reported at 11:28 p.m., Acting Battalion Chief Ron Busch said.

Firefighters arrived within six minutes to find the exteriors of both two-story, single-family homes and their attics in flames, Busch said.

One of the homes was vacant and five disabled adults and two caretakers lived in the other home, Busch said.

One person suffered a minor burn, he said. Firefighters from Windsor and Rincon Valley that are in the Central Fire Authority, as well as ones from Healdsburg, Geyserville and Santa Rosa responded to the blaze.

The cause of the fire, which caused an estimated $250,000 in damage, is under investigation.
