INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — More than 100 Indianapolis firefighters responded to a fire Thursday morning at a racecar engine shop on the city’s east side.

Crews from the Indianapolis Fire Department responded around 3:20 a.m. to a fire at 8560 E. 30th Street just west of Post Road.

Firefighters arrived and saw smoke and flames coming from a building that houses custom sign shop Midwest Signs and Steve Schmidt Competition Engines.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
