(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indianapolis firefighters responded to a house fire on the city’s near west side Monday morning.
Callers to 911 alerted dispatchers to the fire around 1:15 a.m.
When firefighters arrived, fire could be seen coming from all four sides of the home.
Firefighters had trouble with a hydrant causing a two to three minute delay getting water on the fire, however they did have a second line ready to go.
