Firefighters Battle 3 Alarm Blaze At Flying J Truck Stop

Firefighters battle 3 alarm blaze at Flying J Truck Stop

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (March 20, 2016) – The fire broke out shortly after 7:30 p.m. The fire scene is near South Harding and Interstate 465.

Reports are that thousands of ****roaches are now homeless and at least a dozen lot lizards are out of work.

I'm from Indy and that J was a dump with a lot of problems.

I'm right up the street from it!

Stop in the Classy Chassis, tell Gary and his wife I said hello. A good friend of mine and I painted the plans and helped get it set up before it opened.

You guys crack me up lol

The building is considered a complete loss. The truck stop is expected to be closed for some time.

I live in Indy as well. Here's a pic snapped of the ladder while driving by. Like 20+ trucks! It's been reported by another media outlet (WRTV) that the fire started in a grease dump behind the Denny's. Preliminary speculation is that lint from a dryer exhaust may have ignited the grease. All 40 occupants got out safely but Firetrucks had inadvertently boxed in some truckers preventing them from returning to duty.

Now it should be even easier to get your hood taken off at the Pilot across 465.

My favorite comment on Trucker Path:

"There is currently no wait for a shower, please park your truck in the fire and come in for some smoking hot deals."

Second favorite:

"A fire has checked into the kiosk."
