IFD investigating fire at Canal Square apartments downtown

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Fire Department is working to figure out what caused a Thursday morning fire at a downtown apartment building.

Sometime around 4 a.m., firefighters were called to a fire on a second-floor balcony at the Canal Square Apartments. The apartment building is in the 900 block of West Street, not far from Military Park and the IUPUI campus.

Video shared by one of the residents shows flames on at least two balconies.

One resident told News 8 that they “didn’t even hear the fire alarms go off” and only woke up because of their dog, but IFD said in a tweet that the building had working alarms.

IFD says no firefighters or residents were hurt in the fire.
