INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A fire in Castleton that burned six businesses late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning is being investigated by the Indianapolis Fire Department.
Just after 11 p.m., firefighters were dispatched to a building fire at 8126 Castleton Road, right off of 82nd Street and just west of I-69.
When IFD crews arrived, they found heavy smoke coming from the building, according to Rita Reith, IFD battalion chief and public information officer.
