Former Tyson Foods Distribution Center in Indianapolis catches fire
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A fire with heavy smoke broke out Wednesday afternoon at a former food distribution warehouse on the east side of Indianapolis.
Indianapolis Fire Department says the cause was not immediately known, but squatters seeking shelter may be to blame for the fire inside the unoccupied Tyson Foods Indianapolis Distribution Center at 1301 S. Keystone Ave. That’s south of the Keystone Avenue intersection with Prospect Street.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters were alerted just after 1:10 p.m. Wednesday to heavy fire and smoke coming from the northwest side of the building.
“The warehouse was empty except for the shelving used to house goods,” the fire department wrote on the platform X.
The post added, “Crews deployed several handlines and utilized a master stream to extinguish the blaze running up the wall from the area of the riser room to the roof membrane. Little to no extension to the interior.”
The fire was marked “under control” in 30 minutes, the fire department says.
RIPLEY COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — A statewide Silver Alert has been issued for two young children in Indiana.
Police in Ripley County, southeast of Indianapolis, are looing for the children who may be siblings.
The first child is 3-year-old Aaliyah Buckingham.
She was last seen wearing a pink cat shirt and tie-dye shorts.
The younger child is 1-year-old Shane Buckingham, last seen in a red shirt and diaper.
Police think both are with 45-year-old Timothy Buckingham, who was last seen driving a brown GMC truck.

Anyone who sees the three are asked to contact the nearest police department.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
