Carmel 3 alarm Strip Mall Fire Claims a Dunkin Donuts and Pizza Restaurant.

Indystar.com:

Much of a Carmel strip mall was reduced to ash and cinders after fire ripped through the building early Thursday, ravaging two eateries and a wine shop.

Carmel firefighters received the initial call about smoke and haze in the Dunkin’ Donuts, 1300 block of South Rangeline Road, about 2:20 a.m. but were unable to find the cause after about an hour of searching the roof and ceiling with a thermal imaging camera, said department spokesman Bruce Knott.

Chalking it up to issues with the store’s heating and cooling system, firefighters left, only to return about an hour later as the roof erupted into flames. The three employees inside at the time of the fire managed to escape without injury.
