After mistakenly tweeting that a second person had died from a weekend house fire, Windsor's fire department has now retracted the comment and clarified that the person is still being treated for their injuries. "Not sure how that came about but we did receive incorrect information," said Jamie Waffle, deputy chief of operations for Windsor Fire. At this time, a 59-year-old man has died as a result of the fire, the department announced Monday. Windsor's fire department has clarified that it made a mistake in an earlier tweet when it said a second person has died. The fires in recent days are a reminder that people need to be aware of fire safety measures, Waffle said.
