Beech Grove police first reported the fire just after 12:30 a.m. in the corrugated buildings. When firefighters arrived, they did not find a working hydrant inside the facility, they had to run hoses from Emerson Avenue and used tankers to get water on the buildings.



Both buildings, which housed paint and cleaning supplies, eventually collapsed. Hazardous materials investigators said runoff from the fire tested neutral. Nobody was hurt.
