Fire services are investigating an early morningblaze at a Drouillard Road printing office. Officials attendedthe business Tuesday at about 5:10 a.m.

A neighbour discovered fire shooting out the front window of Hogan's Printingand instructed people in the next-door building to evacuate, according to Andrea Dejong of Windsor Fire and Rescue.

No injuries or rescues were reported.

Preliminary investigations suggest the damage will total more than $150,000, but no amount has been confirmed.

'It's tough to wake up to this'

For Hogan's Printing co-founder Doug Hogan, an unexpected incident like this is "part of life," but waking up to find out his business had been destroyed was a shock.

"I got a call at about 5:15 from my sister and she said 'the shop's on fire'... We just watched it burn," said Hogan.

He said there have been discussions about moving the business to a temporary location during the rebuilding process, adding it's hard to put a dollar amount on what was lost.

"Between the machines and 40 years of hard work, it's a tough number to come up with."
