WARSAW — An arcade game caused a fire in the basement of a Warsaw home on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 15.

First responders were called out at 12:46 p.m. to the fire at 1702 Walnut Creek Blvd.

“The fire originated in the basement in … like an arcade game in a shelf that was on fire. We don’t know exactly what caused it yet, but it didn’t spread anywhere. There weren’t any extensions,” said Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory Chief Garrett Holderman.

He said people in the home “got out safely” and no firefighters were injured. It took around 10 minutes to get the fire under control.

Also responding to the scene was the Winona Lake Fire Department. The fire is still under investigation.
