Just before 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) responded to a house fire on Mill Creek Road.
The family was alerted to the fire by the smell of smoke coming from the garage. The family safely exited the home and called 911.
Firefighters had the fire under control in about 20 minutes with heavy fire damage to the rear of the home and smoke damage throughout the house. Because the home resides in an area that does not have hydrants, several area fire departments sent tanker trucks to assist with water operations. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
NFD was assisted by Westfield Fire, Sheridan Fire, Jackson Township, Wayne Township (Hamilton County), and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
