Hamilton County Communications dispatched units from the Noblesville Fire Department, White River Township, and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Upon arrival, first responders observed smoke coming from the front door of the residence. Crews entered the walkout basement and quickly located the fire, which was extinguished shortly thereafter.

Thanks to early detection and the swift response of the homeowners and emergency crews, there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters, and fire damage was limited.
