Noblesville FD responds to two house fires, no injuries reported

The Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) responded to two residential fires Thursday, ensuring the safety of all residents and pets involved.

The first fire was reported in the 4800 block of Ashbrook Drive. The incident was discovered when the homeowners’ in-home security system detected smoke and alerted Hamilton County Public Safety Communications, which dispatched emergency services. Fire crews arrived promptly, entered the home, and quickly extinguished the fire, limiting damage to the kitchen area. The cause of the fire has not been released. No injuries were reported, and the homeowner’s pets were safely evacuated.

The second fire occurred in the 1100 block of Funny Cide Drive. The homeowner contacted 911 after her children alerted her to the fire. The family safely evacuated before emergency responders arrived. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke coming from the residence. Crews located the fire on the second floor and successfully extinguished it. The home sustained substantial damage, but no injuries were reported to civilians, pets, or firefighters.

NFD reminds residents of the importance of working smoke detectors in every home. With the upcoming time change, now is an excellent time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors to ensure they are functioning properly.
