Submitted by Noblesville Fire Department
Shortly before noon on Thursday, Aug. 7, the Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) was dispatched to the 6000 block of Rushing River Road following reports of smoke and flames coming from a home.
Alert neighbors spotted the fire and quickly called 911. Firefighters arrived within minutes and were able to enter the home to locate the source of the fire. A water supply was initially established using a hydrant across the street; however, that hydrant failed. Fire crews quickly identified and secured a second hydrant approximately one block away, ensuring uninterrupted suppression efforts.
The fire was brought under control shortly afterward. The residence was not occupied at the time, and there were no injuries to civilians, firefighters, or pets. NFD was assisted by the Noblesville Police Department, Westfield Fire Department, and the Hamilton County Emergency Management Agency.
NFD reminds residents that working smoke detectors save lives. If you need assistance changing batteries or installing new smoke detectors, NFD is here to help.
