Marion, Indiana, Veterans Administration Medical Center fire caused $20,000 in damage INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Investigators have not determined the cause of a large fire at the Marion VA Medical Center campus in Grant County. Crews from the Marion Fire Department responded around 6:30 a.m. on Feb. 21 to a fire at 1700 E. 38th Street. When firefighters arrived, they found Building 53 “fully engulfed, with flames and smoke showing from all windows and doors,” the fire department said Tuesday on Facebook. Because the fire was on federal property, the Marion Fire Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted a joint investigation, according to MFD Fire Prevention Chief Brian Eckstein. Investigators determined the fire started in Building 53, Eckstein said, but “due to the structure being unsafe with heavy damage,” the cause has been ruled “undetermined.” The Marion Fire Department says the estimated damage to the buildings and their contents is approximately $20 million. About 50 firefighters from various departments responded to the fire. No injuries were reported. ...read more read less
