A large fire broke out at Donald W Moreau, Sr. Veterans Community Center in Downtown Indianapolis last Saturday. Crews were initially called for a fire alarm and found fire in the building when they arrived. The building is a total loss and all residents have been displaced. All residents have been accounted for and there were no fatalities. The cause was determined to be accidental and started in the attic.
