Terre Haute, In. – The Terre Haute Fire Dept. was called to a fire Russ Fisher Truck Parts Just east of State Road 40 on Margaret Avenue just after noon Friday. When they arrived smoke and flames were visible coming out of the building. The fire crews attempted to go inside but due to the fire’s intensity they retreated and attacked the fire from the exterior of the building. Margaret Avenue was closed as the fire crews laid out nearly 3,000 feet of hose to multiple hydrants. The owner of the business said that employees were on lunch break when the fire began so no one was in that part of the building. Employees tried to extinguish the fire with fire extinguishers which was not effective. The Fire Dept. Said the fire was finally brought under control around 2pm. Both the building and the equipment inside sustained heavy damage. No one was injured.
