INDIANAPOLIS — One person is in serious condition after a house fire Friday evening on the southeast side of Indianapolis.
According to a fire department spokesperson, crews were called around 8:15 p.m. Sept. 22 to a home in the 1500 block of Bacon Street, which is near Carson and Troy avenues.
Firefighters entered the burning home and rescued an unconscious 67-year-old man, the spokesperson said. Once outside, the victim received oxygen and medical care and regained consciousness. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. The homeowner told IFD the man may have tripped over a dog and lost a lit cigarette, igniting combustible materials nearby.
No one else was injured.
