INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Four dogs died and a female was “slightly hurt” in two separate house fires that left both homes a total loss, the Indianapolis Fire Department says.
The first fire happened around 1 a.m. on the northwest side just west of Crown Hill Cemetery and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street.
IFD crews were dispatched to the 1000 block of West 33rd Street to investigate a house fire and located a home consumed with heavy fire. They controlled the blaze in 20 minutes.
The female living in the home told firefighters she escaped through a window, but couldn’t rescue her dog. The dog unfortunately died in the fire. The female only suffered slight injuries, IFD said.
The second happened around 2:30 a.m. in the 2600 block of North Bazil Avenue, just north of Interstate 70 and Post Road.
Firefighters on the scene told News 8 the house was considered a total loss. The person living there evacuated the home with a pet lizard, but their three dogs died.
It was unclear what caused the house fires.
