Emergency crews battled a massive fire at Main Street Village Apartments in Granger. It started Monday afternoon in a block of apartments on Sterling Drive. All tenants have been accounted for, and the Mishawaka fire battalion chief told us that no residents were hurt. Three pets were rescued. One firefighter was taken to the hospital and was released Monday night, according to a Mishawaka firefighter. Fourteen crews were called to the scene. Firefighters had to pull out of one part of the building when the roof started to collapse. "It's basically kind of timber and a lot of wood up there," Mishawaka Fire Battalion Chief Mike Cloy said. "Then, it just basically spreads horizontally any way it wants to. Really, the fire kind of just has a mind of its own." Mike Haugh watched from his second-floor apartment across the way.
