INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A heavy fire damaged a vacant house and one of its neighbors early Monday morning, leading to IFD’s fourth response to the home in the last three months. The Indianapolis Fire Department says the fire broke out at 305 and 307 N. State St. just after 4 a.m. Monday. Upon arrival, crews spotted heavy fire showing from the vacant home. Multiple previous fires greatly damaged structural integrity, which IFD said prompted “defensive operations only.” No injuries were reported; an occupied house next to the home sustained exterior damage while firefighters worked to put out the blaze. No one was inside the residence at the time of the fire, though IFD says squatters are in and out of the building. The cause of the fire was still under investigation by late Monday morning. ...read more read less
