#1
Fort Wayne Indiana Fire Department is on the scene of a large fire in a warehouse. All 18 of fort wayne fire stations are on scene and they have called in other departments for stand by.  

 

I was working and someone said I think somthing is on fire across the street. So I grabbed my camera. Here is the first of what i had seen when I got to my car.

This complex is part of what is left of the wane pump factory. This building was built in 1909 and was an ammo plant during WWII.
