IFD fights multiple fires in same neighborhood

Posted: Updated:
INDIANAPOLIS -

IFD crews are working four fires in the same neighborhood North of East Michigan Avenue.

Neighbors are uneasy with the thought they've been targeted for arson. "You could get people killed," said Henry Cook, as he cleaned up around his charred garage on Jefferson Avenue.

The first fire was dispatched as a garage fire at Michigan and Beville around 2:00 a.m.

Since that call, three other fire calls came out, one at 800 N. Keystone, and another in the 300 block of North Jefferson.

A fourth fire in a dumpster on Michigan and Jefferson was also discovered and put out by IFD crews in the neighborhood.

Two of the homes were vacant.

Arson investigators are in the neighborhood, but have not determined whether the fires were linked.
