On January 25th, the Lapel-Stony Creek Township Fire Department, with automatic aid from South Madison Fire Territory, Edgewood Fire Department, Noblesville Fire Department, Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Department, Hamilton County, and Vernon Township Fire Department, responded to a reported residence fire in the area of 5th Street and Ford Street. Upon arrival, the Lapel Police Department was already on scene, reporting fire visible from the exterior. The incident was quickly marked as a “working fire,” and utilities were shut off by the Town of Lapel and Duke Energy.
Fire crews launched an aggressive interior attack, quickly extinguishing the flames. A constant water supply was maintained throughout the incident, thanks in part to the automatic dispatch of tankers by Madison County Central Dispatch due to the current water situation in the Town of Lapel. The hydrant situation did not impact the amount of damage or hinder firefighters’ efforts to put out the fire.
