Indianapolis companies were dispatched for a commercial fire at 2009 Draper Street in the late afternoon on Friday, April 11th. I was in town for the FDIC and took in the fire. Conditions were not ideal for photos, the fire produced quite a bit of smoke that stayed low to the ground. Four elevated master streams were used and the fire scene was littered with out of town visitors (myself included) that were in town for the show.

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.
