Indianapolis warehouse blaze sends plumes over city

INDIANAPOLIS — A day after a fire at a west side warehouse, firefighters were still putting out hotspots, but believe they know where the blaze began.

"The point of origin would be inside the structure, caused by the workers working on the roof," said Decatur Township Deputy Fire Chief Chuck Valentine. "But what it actually was, it's undetermined, too much damage, everything is burnt up."

The fire at Cath-Sue's Interiors started around 2:00 p.m. Friday, and by Saturday morning, all that was left were piles of smoldering rubble.
