INDIANAPOLIS — Smoke alarms may have saved a family on the southwest side of Indianapolis when their house caught fire late Thursday night.
Decatur Township firefighters were called to the fire just after 11:30 p.m. and found the house smoking.
The parents were able to get out with their two children after hearing smoke alarms.
Two people were taken to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation, according to a Facebook post from Decatur Township.
The fire started just below one of the children’s rooms, but investigators have not determined how it started or how much the house on Renee Drive was damaged.
With help from the Indianapolis Fire Department, the fire was put out in less than 20 minutes.
