GREENWOOD, Ind. - A fire ripped through 84 Lumber's warehouse and 6.8-acre property in Greenwood, Indiana last week, causing $1.5 million in damage.

 

Firefighters responded to the fire early morning, battling the blaze for an hour and a half. No injuries were reported.

 

One warehouse was completely gutted and will have to be totally torn down.

 

A fire department spokesperson told the Daily Journal that he does not think they'll be able to determine what caused the fire, but that they have been able to eliminate arson as a possibility.
