WINDSOR LOCKS – Fire crews from Windsor and Windsor Locks spent Monday evening battling a massive fire that has destroyed several tobacco sheds.
The fire broke out at a tobacco shed on Rainbow Road near Route 20 in Windsor Locks around 4pm. Over a hundred firefighters were called in from surrounding towns to combat the intense flames, which created thick plumes of black smoke visible for miles.
Within minutes the fire spread to neighboring sheds. The intensity of the fire, along with reports of propane tanks inside the sheds, made it difficult to battle the fire. Eventually, crews were forced to let the fires burn themselves out.
At least three sheds were destroyed by the fire. An immediate cause was unclear late Monday afternoon.
