Cloverdale Volunteer Fire Department, as well as Greencastle Fire Department, responded to a fire at Lou’s Diner, located at 3 west Stardust Road in Cloverdale, around 1:15 PM Wednesday.

The fire initially started in the wall in the kitchen. Smoke was cleared from the building while a hole was cut from the outside to access the fire and a fire hydrant prepared. During the process of extinguishing the fire, police were called to assist due to civilians driving over the top of the fire hose.

No one was injured in the fire and the damage appears to be minimal; however, the restaurant closed for the rest of the day due the amount of cleanup required.

The Cloverdale Township Fire Department was assisted by the Greencastle Fire Department, Cloverdale Police Department, and Putnam County EMS.
