Carbon monoxide is notoriously known as the “invisible killer” because it’s odorless and invisible, making it impossible to detect without warning. To protect yourself and your loved ones from this silent threat, it’s crucial to take proactive measures.

Start by installing carbon monoxide alarms outside each sleeping area and on every level of your home. This ensures that you’ll be alerted in the event of a carbon monoxide buildup, regardless of where you are in the house.

Regular maintenance is also key. Test your carbon monoxide alarms monthly to ensure they’re functioning properly and can detect any potential leaks. By taking these simple steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and create a safer living environment.

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.

Crews remained on scene for several hours, focusing on hot spots, salvage, and overhaul operations. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

The Lapel-Stony Creek Township Fire Department would like to extend its gratitude to all mutual aid companies for their assistance in responding to this incident. We appreciate the support of Madison County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency and the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.
