Large Fire Breaks Out at Former Golden Corral Restaurant in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A significant fire erupted early Wednesday morning at a vacant former Golden Corral restaurant located near Washington Square Mall. Indianapolis firefighters received the emergency call around 4:10 a.m. regarding the building fire at 10103 E. Washington St. Upon arrival, crews encountered intense smoke and flames emanating from the abandoned structure.
The Golden Corral chain at this location closed nearly four years ago, with the last known operational update shared on social media in a Facebook post dated November 24, 2020. At this time, the cause of the fire remains undetermined, and officials have not reported any injuries related to the incident.
Firefighters are currently engaged in suppressing the blaze and assessing the situation to ensure any potential dangers are mitigated. The Indianapolis Fire Department has not provided additional details regarding the timeline of the firefighting efforts or any other developments as they unfold.
The response effort is likely to draw interest from local residents and businesses in the area, particularly as the former restaurant has stood vacant for several years. Authorities will likely investigate the cause of the fire as part of regular protocol for incidents in abandoned structures.
As the situation develops, more information will be made available to the public concerning the fire’s cause, any structural damages sustained, and updates from emergency crews on-site. Residents are advised to avoid the area for their safety and to assist in the ongoing firefighting efforts.
