INDIANAPOLIS — A morning apartment fire displaced several families living in one building at the Overlook at Valley Ridge complex off of Southport Road Friday.
Firefighters from the Indianapolis Fire Department were called to the fire with possible entrapment reported by 911 callers shortly before 7:15 a.m. Crews arrived to find heavy fire coming from a third floor apartment.
Firefighters were able to get the fire under control less than 20 minutes after arriving to the scene, IFD said.
Everybody was able to get out of the building, and rescue crews reported no injuries.
Emergency responders and the Red Cross are coordinating help for residents displaced from the units damaged in the fire.
IFD said three apartments were damaged, displacing five adults and five children.
The cause of the fire, which is believed to have started on the balcony, is under investigation with no damage estimate immediately available.
