SHELBYVILLE, Ind. — Several residents of a Shelbyville apartment complex and two nearby mobile homes were displaced by an early morning fire Monday.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters were called to 845 Miller Ave. (State Road 44) on the city's west side around 4:30 a.m. for a structure fire. When they arrived, firefighters found a two-story apartment building and two trailers on fire.
State Road 44 was blocked as a ladder truck sprayed water on the scene.
The Red Cross is providing assistance to the victims affected.
Late Monday, authorities told 13News a person was in custody in connection with the blaze. Twenty-one-year-old Zachary Tyler Smothers faces a preliminary charge of arson resulting in bodily injury. He will make a court appearance on Tuesday.
