A Fishers family and their pets safely escaped an early-morning residential fire in the 7400 block of Timberlane Drive, near Hague Road and East 116th Street, after a neighbor spotted smoke and flames coming from the rear of the home and called 911.

The Fishers Fire Department said firefighters arrived and quickly contained the blaze to a sunroom and rear deck, preventing the fire from spreading further into the house.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Fire officials used the incident as a reminder of the importance of working smoke alarms in every home. Residents are encouraged to test their smoke alarms regularly and replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
