LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — No one was injured Saturday night after a house fire broke out in southern Indiana and took firefighters nearly two hours to bring it under control.
Ryan Houchen, a spokesperson for the Highlander Fire Protection District, said crews responded to a "significant" structure fire at 136 Lee Drive in Floyd Knobs, Indiana.
According to Houchen, smoke alarms went off inside the garage of a home around 10:15 p.m.
Homeowners found flames when opening the garage door, quickly closed it and evacuated.
Houchen said heavy fire broke out and began spreading toward the house due to a connected breezeway.
It took nearly two hours for the fire to be brought under control because the street had no hydrant and there was a hybrid car inside the garage.
No one was injured, but a firefighter was taken to the hospital due to exhaustion and is expected to recover.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s Fire Marshal is investigating the fire.
