Indiana Fire Assistant Chief Ron Moreau said they had a quick response but the fire spread quicker.

Moreau added that it did get too dangerous for fire crews to fight the fire from inside.

The building is considered a total loss due to the water and fire damage. No injuries were reported but a few pets were found dead in the building. Eleven people were left without a home due to the fire. Crews are expected to be on scene for a few more hours to fight the fire and make sure it doesn’t spread.
