FIRE FORCES CLOSURE OF MEDICAL OFFICE

(Richmond, IN)--Fire broke out at a Richmond medical facility just after it closed Tuesday.  Firefighters were called to Rheumatology of Central Indiana on Sim Hodgin Parkway.  Here’s a battalion chief describing what happened when they arrived:  "They were able to make forced entry and found a single room that was fully involved.  They got it extinguished fairly quickly." The fire broke out about a half an hour after closing.  Investigators are looking into the cause.  Staff members Tuesday night indicated that the office would be unable to open for several days.
