Unity Worship Center Fire

November 12,2018 -  FWFD units were sent to a building fire at 4101 Holton Avenue.  Upon arrival units found fire showing from multiple locations in the structure.  Crews made entry with hose lines to start primary searches and to attack the fire. Extra crews were called to the scene due to the heavy fire involvement.  Due to fire conditions on multiple floors of the structure and floors and ceilings beginning to collapse, crews were withdrawn and water was applied from the exterior of the building to knock down the heavy fire inside.  Once fire was knocked down to a reasonable and safer level, crews made entry again with hose lines and extinguished the blaze.  FWFD units were assisted on scene by TRAA, FWPD units, NIPSCO, AEP, and Neighborhood Code Enforcement.  Cause of the fire is still under investigation by FWFD Investigators.
