The Fishers Fire Department responded early this morning to a residential fire on East 116th Street, where crews found a home fully engulfed in flames upon arrival.

According to a social media post from the department, the family living in the home safely evacuated before firefighters reached the scene. A Fishers Fire Department staff vehicle in the area initially reported visible smoke and fire conditions.

When fire crews arrived, they encountered heavy fire involvement throughout the residence. Firefighters established a water supply over what was described as a long hose lay before bringing the blaze under control and ultimately extinguishing it.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the department’s Fire Prevention Bureau.

The Fishers Fire Department thanked the Fishers Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for assisting with traffic control. The department also acknowledged the Fishers Police Department’s use of drone technology to provide aerial support at the scene.
