Crews Battle Massive Fire at Downtown South Bend Construction Site
A second-alarm response brought nearly every available unit, and crews kept flames from spreading to nearby apartments and a performance center.
- Early Tuesday, the South Bend Fire Department responded to heavy flames at the Stadium Flats Apartments construction site just after midnight, finding the development and an onsite crane fully engulfed.
- Numerous callers told 911 that the entire construction site and crane were fully engulfed, forcing crews to prioritize containing embers and debris to prevent spread to adjacent properties.
- Officials evacuated residents from the neighboring Diamond View Apartments due to proximity, while intense heat melted signage on the South Bend Cubs Performance Center and damaged top-floor windows.
- Crews upgraded the response to a second alarm, deploying nearly every available unit to the scene; South Street and Lafayette Boulevard remain closed as firefighters contain hot spots and no injuries were reported.
- An investigation into the fire's cause remains ongoing while the SBFD assists displaced residents and assesses the damaged crane's condition; no timeline has been set for residents' return.
