On September 19, 2025, the LSCTFT, with automatic aid from South Madison Fire Territory, responded to a reported barn fire in the area of SR 13 and 100 S, following a dispatch from Madison County Central Dispatch. Upon arrival, units found a barn with visible smoke and fire, prompting the incident to be marked as “working”. Additional units from the Wayne Twp Vol. Fire Dept in Hamilton County were subsequently dispatched to the scene.

Due to the location’s proximity to the county line and the receipt of multiple calls, Hamilton County Dispatch also dispatched units from the Noblesville Fire Department and White River Township Fire Department. Crews from these departments quickly arrived and launched an aggressive attack on the fire to prevent it from spreading to a nearby residence and farm field.

Fortunately, the fire is now under control, and an investigation is currently underway to determine its cause. Thankfully, no civilian or firefighter injuries were reported during the incident.

A total of 11 additional units responded to the scene, including the Vernon Township Fire Department, Fishers Fire Department, Edgewood Fire Department, Duke Energy, CenterPoint, Town of Lapel, Elwood Firefighters Local 1671, Pipe Creek Fire Department, and the Lapel Police Department, IN, as well as the Madison County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency.
