Just after 3 p.m. on Monday, the Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) responded to a residence fire at 12401 Cricket Song Lane.
Crews were met with high winds and heavy fire conditions coming from the residence, as well as smoke coming from the neighboring home. Firefighters were able to coordinate an aggressive interior search with multiple attack lines on the exterior to quickly bring the fire under control. One cat was found and rescued during the search of the home. The homeowners were able to evacuate and were uninjured.
