  The Indianapolis Business Journal reports Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. and subsidiary AGCS Marine filed a lawsuit Friday in Marion County to recover unspecified equipment-related losses.
 
  The defendants include the Indiana State Fair Commission, the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees Local 30, Mid-America Sound Corp. of Greenfield and seven other companies involved in designing and erecting the stage that collapsed Aug. 13, 2011 killing seven people and injuring nearly 60 others.
