Fishers firefighters responded late Saturday night to a residential fire in a townhouse on Gatsby Drive.

No one was home when the fire broke out, and officials say the family was not injured. The blaze did, however, temporarily displace the residents. Fire crews also assisted the family’s pets during the incident.

According to the Fishers Fire Department, quick response and teamwork kept the fire from spreading to neighboring townhomes. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The department also reminded residents of the importance of working smoke alarms. Officials recommend testing alarms monthly, changing the batteries at least once a year, and replacing units every 10 years. For assistance with smoke alarm installation, residents may email fire@fishers.in.us or call 317-595-3219.
