I happened upon this fire while driving through Indiana with my wife several years ago. My wife was driving and I spotted the header just off I65 north of Indianapolis, and though she wasn’t thrilled, she pulled off the highway and we found the fire.

I jumped out and started shooting. I don’t have much information about the fire. This is from the Lebanon Reporter:

Fire at Commercial Air

Firefighters from Center and Lebanon fire departments work to reach the attic of the Commercial Air Inc. storage building at 1201 Ransdell Court Friday. There were no known injuries. At press time, arson investigators were beginning to sift through the debris, searching for the cause of the 8:30 p.m. fire. The fire was declared under control about an hour later. The blaze was reported by a Center Township engine that had just been dispatched to a serious personal injury accident at the 138 mile marker of Interstate 65, just south of Lebanon. Further details were unavailable at press time.
