"Devastating Fire Engulfs Historic Abandoned Emerson High School in Gary"

A historic abandoned high school in Indiana, the Ralph Waldo Emerson High School, went up in flames in a fire that was put out early Sunday morning. The building, which had been vacant since its closure in 2008, had seen vandalism and crime over the years, including the discovery of a strangled body in 2015. Arson investigators are now looking into the cause of the fire, which follows a similar incident that occurred months ago. No injuries were reported, and the school is no longer owned by the Gary Community School Corporation.
