CARMEL -- Carmel firefighters are investigating the cause of a blaze that tore through a dental office early this morning at a Carmel medical building.

Fire Marshal Bruce Knott said no one was inside the building when the fire began, and no one was injured.

Knott said firefighters arrived at about 4:20 a.m. to the office of dentists Stephen Lehman and Kelly Schaub, 370 Medical Drive, Suite A. The fire had not spread from that office, Knott said, and firefighters kept it from reaching the other four dental offices also in the strip center.

He said there was smoke, fire and water damage throughout the office, including to medical equipment, and didn’t yet have an overall cost estimate.

Damage to the other four dental offices inside the building was minimal, he said.

Firefighters were alerted by a fire alarm. Fishers Fire Department assisted Carmel

Checki it out. The last line. "Firefighters were alerted by a fire alarm.". I am sure the whole building would have been lost if not for the fire alarm.
