JEFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- A fire in Jeffersonville destroyed a dozen businesses over the weekend, including one that helps families and children during difficult times.
On Tuesday morning, fencing surrounded the burned-out building at the corner of East Court Avenue and Spring Street in downtown Jeffersonville. By all appearances, the building is a total loss.
One of the organizations that operated out of that building was the Family and Children's Place, which provided resources for neglected children and people involved in human trafficking for five southern Indiana counties.
That fire broke out Sunday afternoon and more than 30 firefighters responded. Twelve businesses and organizations were located inside the building, and all of them are now displaced.
