Massive fire destroys arcade game supplier warehouse in Peru
PERU, Ind. (WISH) — A massive fire has destroyed a warehouse belonging to an arcade game supplier just outside of Peru.
The fire broke out sometime Wednesday at the Don’s Amusements warehouse located at C.R. 4028 W. 200 N. outside Peru. That is right by the Peru Municipal Airport just east U.S. 31. in Miami County.
Peru Fire Department Chief Dane told News 8 that multiple departments were working to contain the fire at the 15,000 square foot building. Dane added that water had to be shuttled in due to there being no fire hydrants near the scene.
News 8 spoke with the owner of Don’s Amusements, who confirmed the building was a total loss.
Video shared with News 8 showed heavy fire and smoke pluming from the building. It was unclear what started the fire, but crews were still working to control the blaze at 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Miami County is one of 46 counties in Indiana under a burn ban.

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.
